Ash

Coat of Arms is the twenty-third studio album by British rock band Wishbone Ash. A world without the hard rock veterans WISHBONE ASH is no longer imaginable. So let's just celebrate the new album "Coat Of Arms". 50 years after their debut album "Wishbone Ash" (1970), the band around the guitarist/singer Andy Powell is still at the start, and delights us with their multi-facetted and unique twin-lead guitar parts. Coat Of Arms sounds stylistically diverse and technically accomplished, yet the new album is typical of Wishbone Ash’s traditional strengths – a balancing act that is a challenge to Powell every time: “Following the countless songs that we have written throughout the history of Wishbone Ash, my own expectations are extremely high…”

Wishbone Ash is the first studio album by Wishbone Ash. The band's debut album became a reality when they were opening for Deep Purple in early 1970. Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was jamming during the band's soundcheck when Wishbone guitarist Andy Powell boldly plugged in and began jamming with Blackmore. After the show, Blackmore recommended that MCA Records sign the band. Deep Purple producer Derek Lawrence produced this album, which features elements of blues, progressive rock, and psychedelic improvisation. The album was a success and Wishbone Ash would soon become one of the most popular rock bands of the early 1970s.

Live in Bristol is a seven-track live release by U.K. hard rockers Wishbone Ash featuring "Real Guitars Have Wings" and "Cosmic Jazz." This is the classic Wishbone Ash line-up captured live in concert at the Colston Hall, Bristol. Featuring Andy Powell, Ted Turner, Martin Turner and Steve Upton, grab a front row seat as the definitive Wishbone Ash unleash a powerful set. Digitally remastered for enhanced sound quality.

Showing the influences of progressive rock, blues, and straight-up boogie, Wishbone Ash were never your run-of-the-mill British rock band, and this home video, recorded at London's Shepard's Bush Empire during the spring of 2000, makes it clear that three decades after their debut, this band still has plenty to say and the musical authority to say it with style, flair, and power. Wishbone Ash: Live - 30th Anniversary Concert features the band playing a dozen of their favorite songs with plenty of room for Andy Powell's trademark guitar solos.

"Live Dates" is the first live album by the British rock band Wishbone Ash. No surprise – in concert was the best way to hear Wishbone Ash, because the studio was just too sterile an environment, at least for their hardest-rocking stuff to take off. Anyone really into the group should own this record.
