This is another great album in the long line of great albums by Wishbone Ash.
For a band that has been through many changes over the years they just keep on putting out quality material, thanks to the great Andy Powell.
For those who have not kept up with these guys Andy is the glue that has kept it all together, he is the one who has never left. Both Martin and Ted Turner (not related by the way) have come and gone and come back again and left again, but not Andy, he justs keeps on keeping on.
It is actually kind of funny that at this time Martin is touring around the UK with a band he is calling Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash, do not confuse them with Wishbone Ash, they are not the same band, Martin has kind of got a retro thing going on, no original material what so ever, while Andy keeps putting out original material while still giving the long time fans a dose of the old stuff when you see Wishbone Ash in concert.
Now that that is out of the way onto the newest effort, it is chock full of great songs, keeping up the classic twin lead guitar attack that made these guys famous. The other guitar player besides Andy is a guy named Muddy Manninen, he is absolutely awesome. A star in his own right in his native Finland. I saw these guys last weekend and Muddy is the perfect compliment to Andy, in my opinion maybe the best ever, and that is saying something because there have been some good ones.
I can not recommend this album enough, and I would also recommend "Live in Hamburg" , a recent live album from early 2007 .
The Power of Eternity is a 5 star album, if you love great guitar work and finely crafted songs you will like this for sure.
