Wishbone Ash: Golden Anniversary of Wishbone Ash’s ‘Live Dates’ album

Wishbone Ash: Golden Anniversary of Wishbone Ash’s ‘Live Dates’ album

2-23-2023

Golden Anniversary of Wishbone Ash’s ‘Live Dates’ album,
to spotlight 50-plus years of twin-lead guitar power.


Formed in 1969 in England, Wishbone Ash are one of the most influential guitar bands in rock history. Equally inspired by British folk, American jazz and R&B, the band did their part to help form the emerging rock ’n’ roll scene in the U.S. and the U.K. Through dedication to the craft of guitar harmony and melody, along with relentless touring, Wishbone Ash garnered a vast audience through public approval, critical praise and worldwide distribution of their extensive recording catalog.

In 2023 the band, led by founding member Andy Powell (guitarist, lead vocals), will mark the 50th anniversary of their biggest selling release, “Live Dates,” with tours of Europe, North America and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., February and March will see the band traveling through the Northeast and Midwest, with an autumn tour through the South and West.

The first live album released by the band, “Live Dates” features selections from Wishbone Ash’s first four albums performed in concert during the summer of 1973. Reviewers have consistently listed it among the finest live rock albums of all time, with sales reaching multi-platinum status. “Live Dates” includes the cream of the early Wishbone Ash crop: "King Will Come," "Warrior, Throw Down the Sword," "Rock ’N’ Roll Widow," "Ballad of the Beacon," "Baby What You Want Me to Do," "Pilgrim," "Blowin’ Free," "Jailbait," "Lady Whiskey" and "Phoenix."

Andy Powell trades licks with Yorkshire’s Mark Abrahams, who has been playing Wishbone Ash tunes since his youth. Longtime bassist Bob Skeat keeps the low-end rocking, working the grooves with newest band member, Mike Truscott on drums. Like his band mate Mark Abrahams, Mike also hails from Yorkshire, England.

Over the years the band has embraced diverse musical genres, from folk, blues and jazz to pedal-to-the-metal rock and electronica. Regardless of the style, Wishbone Ash’s groundbreaking interplay of two lead guitars influenced bands such as Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden, Umphree McGee and Opeth, among many others.

Wishbone Ash’s latest studio album (their 26th), “Coat of Arms,” was released in early 2020. Their 101st official release is Snapper Music’s limited-edition “Argus” box set containing the remastered album plus historical live albums, previously unreleased, from the original band, back at that time.
