Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums and was a more powerful, consistent effort that had an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing ability to play was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature.
