AllMusic[2]

Pilgrimage is the second studio album by the rock band Wishbone Ash. The album focuses more on folk and acoustic music as opposed to the blues rock sound that dominated the first album.[2] The album also contains the instrumental jazz workout "Vas Dis" as well as moodier, slower instrumentals such as "Alone" and "Lullaby".[2]

The album sold well, reaching no. 14 in the UK Albums Chart,[3] but the band reached their creative and commercial peak with their next studio release, Argus.[4]
