I'd definitely recommend checking out "Grave New World." That's the album that got me into them, it's pretty stellar. come to think of it, it's about time I revisit their stuff as well!

Thanks! Yeah, I'll check that out today. They have a good sound. I guess I just need to give them a more focused listen.

From the Wichwood is great, but I prefer both ''Grave New World'' and ''Hero and Heroine'' cos they refined their sound. You should also try ''Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios'', a memorable live album featuring Rick Wakeman (all like ''From the Witchwood'')

Great rec, Jethro. I will seek that out. I've read in other places that Hero and Heroine is another one of their best records. I'll give that a go as well. Thanks

I haven't listened to Strawbs in like over a year for some reason, I used to like them a lot. Hero and Heroine is my favourite but Grave New World and the live album Jethro mentioned are close behind.

^Just finished Grave New World and I really liked it. I'll follow it up with Hero and Heroine. It'll take a few more listens, but I could see these guys becoming a favorite. Thanks for the recs guys.

Almost forgot how great this is, so relaxing. Need to check some of his other albums as well.

"Need to check some of his other albums as well."



Wise After the Event is GREAT. I like it more than this. he sings on every track and it's more electric, pretty different from this but so so good. trying to get a review together for it atm.
