No 'Wild Turkey'? 

Glen Cornick was the bass player on This Was, Stand Up, and Benefit. He formed Wild Turkey after leaving Jethro Tull.

I went with Blodwyn Pig's Ahead Rings Out over Wild Turkey's Battle Hymn and Jethro Tull's This Was. The only other album I have heard here in full that I can recall is Eddie Jobson's Zinc. I like the incorporation of electronica in that album, but the AOR qualities taint my enjoyment of it.

Blodwyn Pig Ahead Rings Out I believe has similarities to This Was in sound and style. I have to be in a nostalgic British Blues Rock mood to appreciate it...yet some sections of the album sound like Progressive Rock or rather what people defined then as Art Rock. It's definitely a worthwhile listen.
