Classic Rock Legends Wishbone Ash Announce October UK Tour & Tickets
Monday, 01 October 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
Classic rock legends Wishbone Ash, one of the most influential guitar bands in the history of rock, kicks off the UK leg of their tour on October 4th, 2012.
The tour, which began in Europe early this year, celebrates the release of 'Elegant Stealth', the group’s latest studio album.
'Elegant Stealth' represents a benchmark in the evolution of Wishbone Ash. Signature twin-lead melodies and a powerhouse rhythm section frame 11 new tracks that reflect a diverse realm of styles and moods.
Classic Rock Revisited ranked 'Elegant Stealth' Number 8 in its Top 40 New Releases of 2011, and Classic Rock Revisited’s Jeb Wright called it “one of the best albums in Wishbone Ash’s 42 year career.”
Citing Wishbone Ash as an influence on their style, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Southern Rock outfits like Lynyrd Skynyrd and, more recently, heavyweights like Opeth and some of the guitar-based indie/alternative bands, have all taken a little something from the legendary twin-guitar approach of Wishbone Ash.
