Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

Almighty Blues Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
(Ben Granfelt/Ben Granfelt)
Don't tell me baby
'Cause I already know
Things could be better,
Not like this Broadway Show
Always a reason
There's no time to talk
I don't want you leaving
And I surely don't want you to walk
(Chorus)
'Cause I never felt this way I feel before
Is this the blues?Almighty Blues
I've never felt so lonely, since I lost my one and only
I can't go the distance
I can't close the door
Feel alone in a crowd
I can't take no more
(Chorus)
Don't need a reason
To be in your game
With a loser's luck
It's nothin' but a cryin' shame
(Chorus)
