| | Wishbone Ash Album Reviews |
 | | By the end of 1970, Wishbone Ash was conceived, and containing only six songs, two of which longer than 10 minutes, the album was obviously rooted in a jam-era, but still the band’s intricate melodies and quite polished solos guaranteed you’d rarely accuse them of self-indulgence. |
 | | Like many sources have it, Wishbone Ash isn’t overwhelmingly innovative, nor very flashy, on first listen, but the band had a subtlety, knack for intricate melodies and a unique approach that set them apart from the start onwards. |
 | | Wishbone Ash didn’t have these extremes, and on Argus, you basically get one successful track after another, and while they’re not all stellar (“Blowin’ Free” employs that thumping mid-tempo boogie – but to fine results), they’re still quite amazing 32 years later. |
