Despite releasing three albums of well-crafted songs and exceptional performances over just two years via Decca’s Deram imprint, Darryl Way’s Wolf remain largely ignored in most histories of progressive rock’s 70s heyday.
At the time, they enjoyed enthusiastic reviews and live popularity, but failed to break into the charts – a fact that may have contributed to their subsequent invisibility.
Their formidable 1973 debut, Canis Lupus, features the ex-Curved Air maestro Way’s masterly use of violin and keyboards, alongside John Etheridge’s frenzied legato-style guitar, Dek Messecar’s supple bass and Ian Mosley’s whip-cracking drumming. A nuanced production from King Crimson co-founder Ian McDonald refines the music’s subtler points.
