Wishbone Ash - Coat Of Arms (2020) {Japanese Edition}

Coat of Arms is the twenty-third studio album by British rock band Wishbone Ash. A world without the hard rock veterans WISHBONE ASH is no longer imaginable. So let's just celebrate the new album "Coat Of Arms". 50 years after their debut album "Wishbone Ash" (1970), the band around the guitarist/singer Andy Powell is still at the start, and delights us with their multi-facetted and unique twin-lead guitar parts. Coat Of Arms sounds stylistically diverse and technically accomplished, yet the new album is typical of Wishbone Ash’s traditional strengths – a balancing act that is a challenge to Powell every time: “Following the countless songs that we have written throughout the history of Wishbone Ash, my own expectations are extremely high. On the one hand as a composer you try not to repeat yourself in your creative output but to come up with new ideas all the time, on the other you want to remain faithful to your style. Good songs need an inner conviction and the right inspiration. We had both when we started working on Coat Of Arms. You’d be right in describing the current line-up as the best in the history of Wishbone Ash. We all love our lives as musicians, the direct contact with our fans, travelling, the shows, our songs. It’s that commitment by everybody involved that you hear in every single note on Coat Of Arms.”
