Just Testing

Out of print in the U.S. Just Testing is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Wishbone Ash. The Martin Turner songs dominate on his final album with this line-up. The bass lines are great and the interaction between Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield is superb. This album, in fact, features some of his typically stellar work. He has a vocal style that is perfect for their particular style of music. Turner's best song on the album, 'Lifeline', soars on the backs of the band's two outstanding guitarists. Also check out Andy Powell's solos on 'Insomnia'. Additional musicians on the album are Ian Kewley on organ (Johnny Hallyday, Paul Young, David Gilmour, etc.) and vocals by Claire Hamill.
