Extract from the CD sleeve notes by John Tobler:
. . . . . Maddy Prior, perhaps sensing that
the writing was on the wall, had
launched a full-time solo career with an
album of her own original songs,
'Woman In The Wings', which was
released in early 1978, shortly after
'Storm Force Ten'. Once again assisted
by lan Anderson of Jethro Tull, who co-
produced the album with fellow Tull
stalwart David Palmer and
engineer/producer Robin Black, it
featured the entire Tull line-up of the
time - drummer Barriemore Barlow.
base player John Glascock. guitarist
Martin Barre (who contributed a solo on
'Cold Flame'). Palmer (who played
keyboard on both the title track and
'Mother And Child') and Anderson
himself, where archetypal flute is heard
on 'Gutter Geese'. Even Anderson's
wife. Shona, joined in. as backing
vocalist on 'Catseyes'- although (perhaps
purposely) no single track features
Maddy fronting a complete Jethro Tull.
