For
a band that quickly evolved into a radio-friendly prog-leaning outfit,
it's a wonder that Wishbone Ash started out as the boogie and
blues-based group that this debut reveals. If the term "jam band"
existed in 1970, Wishbone Ash surely would have been a major player in
that genre. As it was, this album stacked up nicely when compared with
other British hard rock releases that year. Not as complex or calculated
as Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin III but definitely more focused than
Mott the Hoople's Mad Shadows, Wishbone Ash more closely resembled
Benefit by Jethro Tull, a group that hadn't yet adopted its own
progressive elements. The dual lead guitar attack of Andy Powell and Ted
Turner was a component that none of the above bands possessed, but
unfortunately their (shared) lead vocals lacked the punch and authority
necessary for hard rock bands to be taken seriously. So while they could
rock as loudly and convincingly as virtually anyone, their lead
singers, perhaps, held them back from being the force they should have
been. The follow-up, Pilgrimage, took steps to rectify Wishbone Ash's
odd position, but this album nevertheless opened eyes and ears and
revealed to the rock & roll community a band with incredible
potential and talent.
