New England is the seventh studio album by rock band Wishbone Ash released only seven months after Locked In. It was a success compared to Locked In but still did not chart as high as most of their previous albums. It peaked at No. 22 in the UK Albums Chart.[3] This album marked the "Americanization" of Wishbone Ash, as the band relocated from England to the Northeastern United States (New England) for tax purposes.[citation needed]
New England contained an even balance of hard rock songs and breezy, soft rock ballads, the latter of which would see further exploration from Wishbone Ash on their next studio album, Front Page News.[citation needed]
