(Review from collecting-tull.com, amazon)

In 1971, Glen Cornick took the momentous step of leaving Jethro Tull having played bass on their first three albums: “This Was”, “Stand Up”, and “Benefit”. He left a group that is undoubtedly one of the world’s most influential and viable products of seventies rock to face a challenge that most musicians would find daunting. He left to find the musical freedom he felt he needed to extend his musical creativity. A founder member of Jethro Tull, Glenn had started to write songs that were not compatible with the musical identity of Tull and rather than remain just playing bass with them, he decided to go his own way.

The decision made, Cornick got together with four musicians, each of them came from vastly differing backgrounds, but as Wild Turkey, the name he chose for his new band, they have developed a corporate style that has been welded together over few months. The band rehearsed, talked music and lived together in a farmhouse they rented for a month and then went out on the road. They started to build a reputation by playing to the club audiences that are instrumental in building a band’s following rather than make use of the name and stature Glenn Cornick earned within Jethro Tull and rush straightaway into the recording studios to trade on his past. Wild Turkey steadily built an ever increasing following among club and college audiences around the country.

Highlights include the very heavy “Butterfly” which opens the album, the title track — a combination of heavy and acoustic music, “Gentle Rain” featuring a glittering organ and harpsichord, “To the Stars” characterized by a tasty piano and a flamboyant finale and “Dulwich Fox” — a nice little acoustic guitar song with some very pleasant vocal harmonies.

If you are interested in good harmony-singing, likes good folk-hardrock songs, then you are in for Glen Cornick’s “Turkeys”.
