LOCKED IN

"Locked In" is the least inspiring of Wishbone Ash's 1970's efforts. In my opinion, all of their other albums from that decade ranged from very good to fantastic. Here though, they did hit a real low unfortunately. I still give it two stars because although there are some dreadful moments (Laurie Wisefield's vocals are often quite annoying on this album!), "Rest In Peace" is pretty cool and almost up there with some of the better WA numbers. I can live with "Half Past Lovin'" but if you're not much into the country-rock/boogie style they incorporated it might not be your thing. "Say Goodbye" is also one of the decent songs but overall this is really for die hard fans only.
