Comments:
After playing for Jethro Tull from 1967 to 1970 (he recorded three albums), bassist Glenn Cornick left the band and formed Wild Turkey with the following musicians: Glenn Cornick (Bass), Graham Hedley Williams (Guitar), Tweke Lewis ( Guitar), John Weathers (Drums) and Gary Pickford-Hopkins (vocals). After a short period of time, the line-up was changed, Weathers and Williams left, replaced by Jon Blackmore (Guitar and Voice) and Jeff Jones (Drums). This line-up features the album "Battle Hymns" , dated 1971 in Hard-Rock style with Progressive and Blues-Rock veins. The electric guitar and vocals are the protagonists, supported by a solid rhythm section and the record alternates more pushed tracks with other more melodic. The feedback is positive for both critics and audiences, thanks in part to their excellent live performances supporting bands such as Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Procol Harum, Yes, Ten Years After and Zz Top. Despite the success of the first album and the live band changed again, Blackmore left the group replaced by Mick Dyche (Slide Guitar, Guitar and vocals) and Steve Gurl (Piano) added to the five. The sextet released a single called "Good old days", containing an unreleased B-side: "Life Is a Symphony", before the album "Turkey" also in 1972, in the hope of confirming and improving the success of the first work. Mid 1974 Wild Turkey disbanded.
