STRAWBS
DAVE COUSINS, RON CHESTERMAN, TONY HOOPER
One of the better British progressive bands of the early '70s,
the Strawbs differed from their more successful compatriots
-- the Moody Blues, King Crimson, Pink Floyd -- principally
in that their sound originated in English folk music, rather than rock

The Strawbs had done an album with Sandy Denny handling many of the vocals,
and had also done quite a bit of unreleased recordings prior to 1969's Strawbs.
This is still their first proper album, but their wealth of prior live and studio experience
most likely helped make it sound more confident and fully formed than many a debut effort.
The group distinguished itself among the burgeoning school of British folk-rockers
by delivering bittersweet folk-rock with a storytelling flavor.
Dave Cousins' songwriting was on the sober and occasionally over-earnest side,
but nonetheless the record was strong and alluring enough to immediately establish
The Strawbs as one of the better first-generation U.K. folk-rock outfits...(AllMusic)
