Album Description
Every now and then, a fine guitar band will release one or two albums that just become so unbeatable that other hopefuls try to emulate their sound or the success. One of the finest hard-rocking guitar based bands in rock history have always been Wishbone Ash. They, fortunately, have a trail of albums that continue to thrill audiences and record buyers all over the world. With that in mind, Andy Powell and the band drove in from a snowy cold winter drive from the Northeast, and plugged in to the XM studios and delivered a show fit for a king. The audience was made up of Ash fan club and contest winners, and the band performed a critic's choice of their most famous tracks. In this show, you hear "The King Will Come" "Blowin' Free" and "Ballad of the Beacon." The artists decided to give the radio audience and the fans a rare glimpse into their vast catalog of music, and the show was never to be repeated again, except for a very rare fan club disc....that is until now! Andy Powell would love the Wishbone Ash folks that didn't make the gig back in 2004, have the pleasure of hearing what a few got a chance to witness. This new cd "Live On XM Satellite Radio" truly captures the band in its hard rocking forum. Dual-guitars from Andy and Muddy Manninen ( his fourth gig with the band!!!!) carry the melodies and intricate workings of each song The amazing bass of Bob Skeat and drummer extraordinaire Ray Weston continue the workout on nine selections that will thrill the listener from the first few seconds of the disc. Like our other fine release Illuminations ( FRM 1017), Wishbone Ash continually make fine recordings, this new live album continues the tradition.

I was not expecting much from this CD having been disappointed by some of the more recent Wishbone Ash releases. What a surprise. The sound quality was good and the band played well off of the crowd. It does not have the impact and energy of the original line up (check out "Live Dates") but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

Wishbone Ash Live At XM Satellite Radio Studio 2004!

This live broadcast recorded November 22, 2004 at the XM Satellite Radio Studios in Washington D.C. showcases just how great Wishbone Ash really are. It's very upfront and personal with original lead guitarist/vocalist Andy Powell talking with what appears to be a small audience chosen for this recording. The bulk of the songs are, for the most part, classic Wishbone Ash such as "The King Will Come", "Warrior", "Throw Down The Sword", "Blowin' Free", "Ballad Of The Beacon", "F.U.B.B.", "Living Proof" plus later tracks "Faith, Hope & Love", and "Almighty Blues". The songs are played to perfection with soaring lead guitar solos and the sound quality of this recording is nothing less than superb. Also, this was the fourth gig for new Wishbone Ash guitarist Muddy Manninen. The liner notes are few but informative. Wishbone Ash fans will definately want to add this to their cd collection.
