Description
Originally released in 1970.
Classic first album from "The Ash" featuring the original line-up of Andy Powell, Ted & Martin Turner and Steve Upton.
Description
Wishbone Ash's self-titled debut album, released in 1970, introduced a distinctive sound that would become highly influential in British rock - This re-issue faithfully replictes the original UKrelease in its gatefold sleeve and is pressed on 180g vinyl
Blending blues-rock, folk melodies, and emerging progressive elements, the album is defined by the band's signature twin-lead guitar approach, with Andy Powell and Ted Turner weaving melodic, harmonized lines rather than relying on a single dominant lead. Tracks like "Blind Eye" and "Queen Of Torture" balance hard-edged riffs with spacious, reflective passages, while acoustic moments add a pastoral, almost medieval atmosphere. The rhythm section, understated yet precise, allows the guitars to breathe and develop organically. Rather than chasing commercial immediacy, the album favours mood, texture, and musical interplay, giving it a thoughtful, exploratory character. As a debut, Wishbone Ash feels confident and forward-looking, laying the groundwork for the band's later classics and helping to shape the twin-guitar sound later adopted by countless rock and metal acts.
