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.

Come In From The Rain Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty
From livin out on the sidewalk.
Footsteps takin me nowhere,
But where can you go when you dont know
What it is youre lookin for?
Just as I was a desperate man
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,baby, come in from the rain.
You could see down the stitches and patches
That were holdin me together,
So with stolen faces, hand in hand,
We made footsteps together for musicland.
Used to be I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty, yeah,
From the bad life on the back streets.
But when your footsteps are takin you nowhere
Where can you go and what can you do
When you dont know what youre lookin for?
Hey, just as I reached the real world
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,baby, come in out of the rain.
Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine,
Oh, baby, come in from the rain.
