Experience the enduring legacy of Wishbone Ash with Backbones, a comprehensive 3-CD compilation released via Talking Elephant Records.
This limited edition set offers a deep dive into the band's prolific output from the mid-nineties through the early 2000s. Far from being a simple retrospective, Backbones serves as a powerful testament to the band’s continued relevance and craftsmanship beyond their classic 70s peak. The collection features a curated selection of tracks from significant studio releases, including Illuminations (1996), Bare Bones (1999), and Bonafide (2002).
Release Highlights:
- Disc 1 & 2: A definitive "trawl" through several Talking Elephant releases, blending studio mastery with the energy of live performances from Tracks and Lost Pearls.
- Disc 3 (Bonus): Features three live tracks recorded in 2002, including a definitive performance of the fan-favorite "The King Will Come."
- Exclusive Content: Includes a revealing interview with Andy Powell recorded in September 2004, providing unique insight into the band's history and creative process.
Perfect for both longtime fans and newcomers, this 3-CD set showcases the dual-lead guitar harmonies and melodic rock sensibilities that define Wishbone Ash. Whether you are revisiting their journey or exploring their "modern" era for the first time, Backbones is an essential addition to any rock collection.
