Turkey is a second album by Wild Turkey. Former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick formed Wild Turkey after departing Tull in 1971. The initial line-up of the band featured Glenn Cornick (bass), Graham Williams (guitar), Alan Tweke Lewis (guitar), John Pugwash Weathers (drums) and Gary Pickford-Hopkins (vocals). Before recording their first album, Weathers and Williams departed the fold to be replaced by Jon Blackmore (guitar & vocals) and Jeff Jones (drums). The album Battle Hymn was released by Chrysalis Records in 1971 and was well received by fans and critics alike. By the time of the bands second album for Chrysalis Records, the line-up had changed again with Mick Dyche replacing Jon Blackmore on guitar and Steve Gurl joining on keyboards.
Alongside the rest of the early-'70s glam pack, Suzi Quatro fans have never had to search far for a hits compilation, but The Wild One is certainly one of the most all-encompassing. Quatro's own career divides into two very separate phases – there was her early run of hits and misses, traveling from 1972's "Rolling Stone" to 1977's "Tear Me Apart," and then there's the more rounded, adult sound that was ushered in by "If You Can't Give Me Love," and rolled on for another five years. This set bridges the two, drawing in a handful of numbers from that later period, but the lion's share of The Wild One concentrates on the leather-clad rocker who canned the can and drove down to Devilgate. A solid 13 hit singles are joined by seven further classics, including the debut "Rolling Stone," and primal covers of "All Shook Up" and "Keep a Knocking," and the spirit of Quatro as the hardest rocker in pop lives on.
The Wild One is a compilation album by the rock singer-songwriter and bass guitarist Suzi Quatro. It was originally released in Australia and United Kingdom 8th November 1990 on EMI Records.
This is the CD debut of superb, but still relatively unknown, hard-psychedelic LP based on moody, but intense guitars, distinguish organ/piano parts & complex vocal harmonies. Released by United Artists in early 1970, the only record of this US band showed the influences from The Beatles, The Moody Blues and Neil Young, but mainly from great, but underrated Damnation Of Adam Blessing - from which the two members provided some guitar work to the album. Wild Butter have offered a varied, imaginative and beautifully-arranged songs (with progressive attitude) and should appeal to fans of creative, melodic and sometimes quite heavy rock. This CD has been carefully remastered from the original, analogue source.
