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.

Lady Whiskey Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Lady whiskey, such a sad sight, stumblin as she walks.
She even hates herself sometimes.
Keep her clear, for its saturday night.
Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain,
Waits for tomorrow, when shell do the same again.
Lady whiskeys got a man, her man is just like her -
Tries to fit the key in the door
When he comes home saturday night.
Drowns his sorrow, eases his pain,
Waits for tomorrow, when hell do the same again.
Lady whiskeys got a son, got a daughter, too.
Son dont play, but the daughters on the way
When she comes home saturday night.
Lady whiskey, she gets sick when she goes downtown.
One day drinks gonna put her down -
She wont come home saturday night.
