Wishbone Ash – There’s the Rub – CD

In 1974, veteran English rockers Wishbone Ash recorded their fifth studio album. “There’s The Rub” is more rocky and less conceptual compared to the band’s previous work although much of the typical Ash style is here throughout. New guitarist Laurie Wisefield also brings in a different atmosphere and does a superb job taking over from Ted Turner. The album kicks off with the rather enjoyable but straight forward melodic rocker “Silver Shoes”. “Lady Jay” is a song in the vein of their great ‘Argus’ album, with the same type of arrangement including their fabulous twin guitars. The longest piece “F.U.B.B” may be their magnum opus when it comes to showing off their talents.
