WILD TURKEY

     Battle Hymn inner sleeve

In December 1970, Glenn Cornick was kicked out of Jethro Tull according to an interview in A New Day fanzine. Then in 1971 he founded Wild Turkey, it was the best he could do because he didnīt find any better offers around and he didnīt know what to do with himself! He says that this was the two best years on the road as well as in the studio, most of the time, even if they didnīt now what they where doing he recalls. They did two albums and two American tours. Much later he did a third album with two of the original members, Alan "Tweke" Lewis and Gary Pickford-Hopkins.
