Eyes Wide Open: True Tales Of A Wishbone Ash Warrior

In 1969, Andy Powell was one of four founder members of progressive rock pioneers Wishbone Ash. Forty-five years later, with no sabbaticals, he is still a member of Wishbone Ash. And he has seen a lot of interesting things along the way.

Watching the birth of rockâ€™nâ€™roll in the 50s; stepping into the swinging 60s mod scene as a teenager; breaking through to the big time and touring the States with The Who; selling hundreds of thousands of copies of Argus; being managed by industry legend Miles Copeland; outliving punk and moving to America; battling former bandmates over the right to use the name Wishbone Ash, and fighting to keep that name alive through decades of changing tastes and stylesâ€”Andy Powell has been there, done it, and seen it all. And heâ€™s still doing it today.

Eyes Wide Open is not just the story of one manâ€™s adventures in music but also a journey through some of the most thrilling years of rock history. Honest, unpretentious, and often wryly amusing, it draws on half a century of mingling with the great and the goodâ€”not to mention the occasional nutcase. Itâ€™s a book that will appeal strongly to fans of Wishbone Ash but also to anybody with even a passing interest in classic rock of the 70s and beyond.
