"“Coat Of Arms” is another superb studio achievement from a legendary band that stays true to its traditional (chiseled) style. On the new album, Wishbone Ash radiate expressive freshness, creative sparkle and even a cheeky playfulness,…

Wishbone Ash boldly stepped into a new era with »Number the Brave«, an album that, despite its transitional nature, is undeniably an overlooked achievement.

»Blue Horizon« ranks among the best Wishbone Ash albums ever. On a few tracks, it even captures the spiritual essence of the classic lineup from the first half of the seventies.

»Wishbone Four«, a solid effort but an artistic step back from its predecessor, marked the end of an era: the early Wishbone Ash years, when for a brief moment it looked like they might become bigger than some of the far more…

Even a year ago, plenty of people who have to travel abroad to catch their favorite acts would have shrugged off with a sarcastic smirk anyone who dared predict that a concert by two legendary British rock bands, Nazareth and Wishbone Ash,…

With Elegant Stealth, Wishbone Ash have closed their circle of development and come closer than ever to the original artistry that was all their own in the golden age of the seventies. It's the best Wishbone Ash album of the new millennium.

"The Power Of Eternity" doesn't ignite quite as convincingly as its predecessors "Clan Destiny" (2006) and "Bona Fide" (2002), but it still holds a quality level worthy of the real Wishbone Ash standard.

People often say that "every beginning is humble." That's definitely not true of Wishbone Ash's self-titled debut, which still ranks among the best albums by these legendary British art rockers.

This album from the legendary Wishbone Ash was a long-awaited one, given how excellent its predecessor "Bona Fide" (2002) was. Wishbone Ash, who are undoubtedly enjoying a new bloom in their golden years, stick to their standard formula on…

With "Bona Fide", Wishbone Ash have delivered an album that's bursting with freshness and songs that stick in your head instantly, thanks to that quality, rare these days, that an album like this demands.

Wishbone Ash are without a doubt one of those bands you just can't pin down or squeeze into a genre box. They explored every possible side of early-'70s British rock in their music, without
