It's been a while since you posted a Wishbone Ash album. I would not be familiar at all with the band if you had not posted a bunch of their albums a while back. I for one am glad you did.
The guitar on the first song is ZZ Top"ish", while Wings Of Desire is straight up pop music. Funny thing is, I like the latter. Not a lot of guitar noodling through the first two songs, but what's there is the usual killer playin'. Renegade is more of the same. I get a dreamy feel from Dream Train, not sure why. But it's a very good song. With a lot of noodling. Very good noodling.
Same Conversation is quite Journey"esque". I feel surprised to be making that comment regarding a Wishbone Ash song. Then a second straight ballad. It has that same dreamy feel as Dream Train.
Some of this even sounds a little new wave. Nothing wrong with it.
I have to say I like that closer too.
This is a very solid album. I enjoyed listening to it!
