Ted Turner had left the band by the time this album was made. He was replaced by Laurie Wisefield who plays the first solo after the mandolin. One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands who I have seen many times with the first time being in 19722. By the way it's Martin Turner the bass player singing. He was the main WA vocalist.
Funny you should mention The Eagles. They recorded Hotel California two years after this in the same Criteria Recording Studios in Florida using the same producer Bill Szymczyk. The whole album There's The Rub is perfection. BTW: Martin Turner is the bassist and lead vocalist on all tracks.
Wow, the lead passage taking it to the end of the song is like a stairway to heaven 2.0... I didn't want the thick/clean lead sound to end as it builds and builds/climbing. What a unique heavenly guitar tone, don't know how else to describe it. The bass lines as well, as if the bass is talking to you telling a story. I bet the bass player wrote this song, just a feeling.
What a great album ‘There’s the Rub’ is. To my mind there’s not a bad track on the whole album. ‘Don’t Come Back’ is an awesome rocker. ‘Silver Shoes’ and ‘Hometown’ great songs. Got to agree with you about the album cover, very quirky with a nod to Shakespeare - I don’t think they got it in the States!
Hi Alan, I enjoyed your appreciation of this song and band. I was fortunate to see them in concert in the 70's, and Martin Turner sung the vocals. After all these years, the mystery of this song pervades and I am still hung up on it, never getting to a logical answer about the meaning of it. Look forward to more.
@@alan-reacts65 I am beyond searching now Alan😀, I dont think I ever will (regarding this song), I was in my early twenty's when I first heard it. Non the less, a great peice of music that touches the soul. there are some other songs from this band which equally fit the bill. Look forward to more, all the best JC.

Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield do the phantastic guitar solos on this track. Steve Upton on drums and Martin Turner make a great job for the background.
I've grown steadily more determined to find a track by some Wishbone Ash alumni since hearing it in the late 80s-early 90s, a gentle, simple progression with a lovely lyrical motif. This is gorgeous too. Unfortunately, neither I nor anyone I hung out with back in the 70s was a devotee of the band, so I'm unfamiliar with their work, only desirous of getting to know them better. Thanks for this one, mate. 😊🤙🏼🎶🔥❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Ps Ted had left the band by now & was replaced by Laurie Wisefield . I reckon youd love Jailbait ,Phoenix & Lifeline , great driving tracks with superb guitar work 😊
@@anthonynicholson7364 I hear you , sometimes I will talk about the very first record I bought in 1979 ( with my own money ) or the first live concert I went to in 1980 , my regret is I don’t have the vinyls anymore , a rare Beatles with the parlephone printed upside down a 1st run , bought for a daughter signed , I lost it moving from a posting in 1983 .. but I have the memories 😊👍😎
Alan, you'll get loads of recommendations from us Wishbone geeks, there's 50 albums to choose from. If you wanted something more recent try Way Down South from the album Blue Horizon. BTW they're still touring every year!
Keep up the great work Alan . Love your reactions .
Thank you , it means a lot 😎😊👍

Couldn’t agree more - what a great album.

Tbf , quirky is quintessentially British , but they ( USA) get the music 😊👍 mostly 💡
I heard a tale that the fact that rubbing one side of the ball makes it spin more, therefore the record gets more plays.....

The joy of songs is finding or searching for a meaning , when a song deserves it 😊 this one does , enjoy the search my friend 😎

Martin Turners current tour features the Whole of the Live Dates 2 album this track is included. Love it
I really was blown away 😊👍
I prefer Martins band than Andy Powels

Same desire as me , so check in on the channel , 10O% more to come 😎👍
@@alan-reacts65count on it, pal.

GRANDISIMA BANDA!!!!
Hi Alan from a fellow North Easterner! Just to help, Ted Turner had left by then, Laurie Wisefield of Home had taken his place.
Laurie can play for sure 😎 hello to a native 😊👍
Ps Ted had left the band by now & was replaced by Laurie Wisefield . I reckon youd love Jailbait ,Phoenix & Lifeline , great driving tracks with superb guitar work 😊
Comment saved 👍 new tracks very welcome 😎👍
That track was fhe attempt to process the leaving from guitarist Ted Turner who leaves the band short before producing this album There"s thr Rub.
Kinda sad
Still got vinyl of Ash. A live one and Argus
I’ve been thinking of going to vinyl and just maybe getting my top 100 LP’s .. don’t know if it’s a want or a need 😊👍
@@alan-reacts65 Only got around 10O or so left. 70's and early 80's rock. Nearly entirely second hand bought for £2.50
@anthonynicholson7364 I think I can safely say that’s not the price today but I don’t think you care about value ( I’m assuming ) 😊👍😎
@@alan-reacts65The value was discovering new bands and sounds to love. LP's kept now stored dry and safe with my 40 odd year old turntable.

Try some Argus tracks
Definitely earmarked , just building up 😊👍😎
Sometime World
@@drphilgee6430 Any of 'em really one of the few albums with not one duff track
@66marlinmike I think that’s what I will find , and I will share 😊👍😎
