Wally (album)

Wally is the 1974 eponymous first album by the band Wally. While the band fitted broadly into the progressive rock category, there was more than a hint of country / rock about the album, especially with Paul Middleton's steel guitar. The album is very much of its time, and shows influences of The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash and the like. Wally, produced by Bob Harris and Rick Wakeman was not a huge commercial success, but has gained and maintained a loyal following, to the extent that the album has recently been re-released on CD.

Roy Webber has returned to music after many years involved in his original profession of graphics, and recorded a new album with Will Jackson in 2006.

The track "The Martyr" was released as a single in 1975.
