Wild
Turkey was a hard rock band who was born when bassist Glenn Cornick,
after leaving Jethro Tull, teamed up in 1971 with other musicians to
form a band: Graham Williams (guitar), Alan 'Tweke' Lewis (guitar), John
"Pugwash" Weathers (drums) and Gary Pickford-Hopkins on vocals.
Weathers and Williams left to join Graham Bond's Magick before Wild
Turkey recorded any material. They were replaced by Jon Blackmore
(guitar and vocals) and Jeff Jones (ex-Man) (drums) who joined Cornick,
Tweke and Gary to record Wild Turkey's first album Battle Hymn. The
album was promoted on UK and US tours supporting Black Sabbath.
Peel
appeared enthusiastic when playing a session from Wild Turkey, calling
them a "much improved band" who got "better, better and better" each
time he heard them. However, the band was very short lived (they
disbanded in early 1974 after only two years of activities), so he
didn't seem to have played much music from them. When the band reformed
for the first time in 1996, Peel's musical interest had moved towards
other genres, so there was no reaction from him. Due to the band's
"underground" popularity, we can only speculate if he was even aware of
their reunion!
