Wishbone Ash

Nouveau Calls Wishbone Ash

'Nouveau Calls' is the 14th album by Rock band Wishbone Ash. In 1987, IRS Records founder and original Wishbone manager Miles Copeland III began a record label entitled "No Speak", which featured all instrumental music. For the first time in 14 years, Andy Powell and Steve Upton joined forces with Martin Turner and Ted Turner. Fans were beyond elated to hear that the original Wishbone Ash was back in action, however, reactions were mixed because there were no vocals on the new album. Shedding both vocals and pseudo-heaviness, the original quartet is playing in well thought-out compositions with of course the twin lead guitars of Ted Turner & Andy Powell. Today, these tunes still come out crisp and invigorating. The title 'Nouveau Calls' is a pun on 'No Vocals'.
