After
more than four decades together and more than 20 studio albums to
their credit, Wishbone Ash are still going strong - and they
have a collection of brand new tracks to prove it. The band’s
latest album, «Elegant Stealth», is scheduled for a November 25th
release, breaking a four-year drought between studio recordings and
offering 11 new songs from one of the most influential British groups
of the rock era.
Formed
in 1969, Wishbone Ash helped pioneer the twin-guitar sound later
popularized by countless rock acts, from the Allman Brothers Band and
Lynyrd Skynyrd to Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden Though they
reached their commercial peak relatively early in their career, with
1972′s «Argus», Wishbone Ash have stayed together more or less
constantly over the decades, with guitarist-vocalist Andy Powell
anchoring the many incarnations of the band.
«Elegant
Stealth» follows a flurry of live activity for the current Wishbone
Ash lineup, which features Powell, guitarist Muddy Manninen, bassist
Bob Skeat, and drummer Joseph Crabtree. The band will tour behind the
album for six weeks starting January, followed by a planned series of
American dates in April.
Love this song it's a great example of really good commercial rock.........and Wishbone Ash still rock them guitars as good now as ever!
