Ce groupe britannique est un peu une singularité dans la scène prog.
Ils ont sorti deux albums teintés prog coutry symphonique que j'ai la chance de posséder :
1974 "Wally"
1975 "Valley Gardens"
Ils sont pas très connus et surtout délaissés, dédaignés presque par une sorte de nomenklatura de "spécialistes" ... pourquoi ?
On doit attentivement écouter ces albums pour découvrir qu'ils font de Wally une des bandes les plus intéressantes de la scène surpeuplée du prog dans les années 1970.
Luar biasa ..... 35 tahun yang lalu pertama kali aku mendengar lagu ini, sebuah karya band Wally yang sangat dahsyat besutan produser sekaligus musisi hebat Rick Wakeman. Konon album Wally ini pun termasuk langka. Dan sekarang aku begitu takjub bisa melihat video penampilan Wally ini ...The Martyr !
Great to see WALLY perform like this. I bought both their albums, at the time, and I still think those songs are wonderful, and special. I'm very sorry the band fell apart after just a short period of time. I think they still could, and would have been very successful, and popular later on. I even think they could have become one of the leading bands nowadays.
Met two of these guys once in a Harrogate pub in 1975. Sold them tickets to a Wembley concert. Seems like yesterday!!

What fabulous music - not heard them for so long (where are my LP's?!!!) and had almost forgotten how good they were/are. Excellent.

The host looks like the Gentle Giant character! They'd a been good on a bill with Renaissance or Nektar.
