Ah the 70s what a great time for music and experimentation and some musicians even ventured into the odd meter realms. Wild Turkey is one of these bands. WT was formed by Glenn
Cornick (bassist for Jethro Tull) in the 70s and had some reincarnations since and according to internet sources (Wikipedia and link below) they are still alive and kickin'. They had two releases in the early 70s - 'Battle Hymn'-70 and 'Turkey' -71, then 'Stealer of Years' - 96 and 'Final Performance' - 00. I have the first two in my collection and found just a few oddies, but goodies. Battle Hymn - 1970
Easter Pslam - 3/8, 5/8, 9/8, 12/8
Twelve Streets of Cobbled Black - 7/4, 4/4
Turkey - 1971
See You Next Tuesday - 5/4, 4/4

Have you heard his later material? I would be interested to see if he did any meter experimentation on those effort.

I was curious too. When I get my hands on a copy I will be certainly checking it out, even though the 80's looking cover is a slight deterrent.
