Martin Turner – Life Begins (Dirty Dog Discs/Cherry Red, 2016)
This great 3-disc live set by former Wishbone Ash bassist and vocalist Martin Turner contains two audio CDs and a DVD. Although the material included here was available at concerts, this is the first widely-available version of this collection.
Wishbone Ash became very popular in the 1970s after the release of their iconic album, Argus, now a classic rock. Martin Turner plays some of the most memorable songs from that era, featuring an outstanding mix of folk-rock, blues-rock, progressive leanings and hard rock.
As with Wishbone Ash, Turner uses two electric guitarists who treat the listener to wonderful interactions and solos.
The lineup includes Martin Turner on lead vocals and bass; Ray Hatfield on guitar and vocals; Danny Willson on guitar and vocals; and Dave Wagstaffe on drums.
The live performance was made in 2010 at the Y Theatre in Leicester.
