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!
