Wishbone Ash: WISHBONE FOUR
This album was the follow up to Argus and showcases the band in a more mature light. The progressive influences are still there but not so noticeable and the medieval fantasy element has gone completely. The song writing is excellent and they still have that experimentation with different guitar sounds from electric and slide to acoustic which give the songs much more depth. Wishbone Four still manages to deliver great twin guitar leads, fine songs and impeccable perfomances.
