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.

Bad Weather Blues Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Well, I been away,
I said I been away for so long.
Tell me, have you,
Have you done me wrong?
Can I tell by the look thats in your eyes,
Have you kept your loving locked away inside?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
I done time, I got carried away,
I done laid this high-class babe out in the hay,
Spent half a year in the jailhouse all alone -
This never would have happened if Id stayed at home, oh no.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
Come on everybody, then, clap your hands in the air.
Come on, a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
Come on everybody. Ill teach you, come on,
We want to hear you. louder, louder!
We want you all to join in with us -
When we say yeah, when we say yeah,
We want you to say yeah. you got it?
Come on, are you ready? cant hear you!
Thats better, here we go.
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you shake the dust, can you shake the dust,
Can you make me shine?
Can you shake the dust and make me shine
Like they do in sheffield all the time?
Been everywhere around the world,
Seen every, every kind of girl, yeah.
But it moves me the way that I think I know,
And it weakens me, so make your loving flow.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues.
