Wild turkey was formed in 1971 by Glenn Cornick after he left "Jethro Tull". The original members were Gary Pickford- Hopkins, John ‘Pugwash’ Weathers, Graham Williams, Jon Blackmore and Glenn Cornick, Pugwash and Graham left before any gigs were played (neither would work again with Wild Turkey until 35 years later!) and were replaced by Jeff Jones and Alan ‘Tweke’ Lewis. The first album ‘Battle Hymn’ was recorded early in 1971 and, had moderate success in Britain and the U.S.A. It was followed by extensive touring in Britain and an American tour, often supporting "Black Sabbath". After the American tour, Jon Blackmore left the band and was replaced by Mick Dyche and Steve Gurl. A second album ‘Turkey’ was then recorded in 1972 at Morgan Studios in London and was again followed by extensive British touring and another tour of the U.S. After many changes on the band, Glenn was approached by HTD Records to make a new Wild Turkey album and ‘Stealer of Years’ was recorded in January 1996 at Digitaff Studios in South Wales. Nothing further happened until 2005, when it was decided to investigate the possibility of reforming the band to make a new album and maybe even to tour. The line up for the recording was Gary Pickford-Hopkins, Mick Dyche, Graham Williams, Steve Gurl, Pugwash Weathers, Glenn Cornick - all members at one time of the original band and with Clive Bunker who had played with Glenn in "Jethro Tull". Plans are in hand for another British tour in March 2007 and a European tour in Summer of 2007 and Glenn is currently working on new material in the hope that there might be a next Wild Turkey album! In many ways this Wild Turkye's album is certainly reminiscent of previous "Jethro Tull" formation, in a more familiar format, linking the musical references around classic albuns such as "This Was", "Stand Up", "Living the Past" and "Benefit", the band back to the beginning and, bringing to the present an essence of a real and traditional Rock & Roll, with a sixties and seventies sensibility in great style, adding some folk influences. All the tracks show the usual Rock and Roll arrangements of guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, the vocals are sometimes highly melodic, sometimes harder, in a different kinds of tones. In fact here we will find songs full of pure emotions, that evokes good memories for all "oldies" fans of the classic Rock and Roll. "You And Me In The Jungle" was produced by Wild Turkye and David J. Burrows and mastered by David J. Burrows. The album was recorded at Bridgerow Studios in Glanammon, South Wales, April 2006, including eleven tracks. A special and particular attention to and my favourite songs are: "Propaganda", "Friendly Fire", "Split Down the Middle", "Snakewalk" (is a energetic song), "Catalan Lullaby", "You and Me in the Jungle", "Northern Lights" (really one of the best track on the album), "Play Another Fast Song" (a vibrant Rock Roll song) and "Soldier Boy". The main musicians on the band are: Glenn Cornick (Ex Jethro Tull) - Bass Guitar, Clive Bunker (Ex Jethro Tull) - Drums, John ( Pugwash Weathers ) (Ex Gentle Giant) - Percussion and Vocals, Gary Pickford-Hopkins (Ex Rick Wakeman Band) - Vocals and Harmonica, Mick Dyche (Ex Joan Armatrading Band) - Guitar, Bass and Vocals, Graham Williams (Ex Racing Cars) - Lead Guitar and Steve Gurl (Ex Babe Ruth) - Keyboards. Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable...

“You And Me in The Jungle” is a strong rock CD by Wild Turkey, a band composed of ex-members of legendary rock bands such as Jethro Tull. The songwriting is excellent, with catchy melodies and relevant, clever lyrics and themes about life and relationships. The band is strong, with a tight rhythm section and impressive guitar work throughout the CD. The production is professional and clean and effectively allows the vocals and lyrics to cut through. In addition to classic rock songs, the CD shows the bands versatility and includes the beautiful Catalan Lullaby and the traditional celtic Northern Lights. It’s great to see that after many years in the industry, these guys can still rock. If you enjoy artists such as Eric Clapton and the Grateful Dead, you’ll enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!
