Former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick formed Wild Turkey after departing Tull in 1971. The initial line-up of the band featured Glenn Cornick (bass), Graham Williams (guitar), Alan Tweke Lewis (guitar), John Pugwash Weathers (drums) and Gary PickfordHopkins (vocals). Before recording their first album, Weathers and Williams departed the fold to be replaced by Jon Blackmore (guitar & vocals) and Jeff Jones (drums). The album Battle Hymn was released by Chrysalis Records in 1971 and was well received by fans and critics alike.

"Wild Turkey, formed by one time bassist with Jethro Tull, the late Glenn Cornick were a guitar/bass/drums (no flutes for this lot) hard rock/prog band that released 2 albums in the early 70s and a CD in 1996. Battle Hymn; thier debut offering from 1971 lacks the self indulgence found on a lot of records at the time and concentrates on shorter ( mainly all under 5 mins) progressive hard rock tunes.

Highlights include the riff laden title track and Butterfly. Easter Psalm. The acoustic Sanctuary. And Gentle Rain; with a great solo at the end, that song should have been the album closer, but they opted to end this fine record with Sentinel instead! Another classic underrated album." Amazon-Kunde
