The Strawbs started out as a bluegrass and folk trio called the Strawberry Hill Boys in 1967. They went on to become stars of British progressive rock, but like the Grateful Dead, they never let folk roots disappear completely from their sound. These days they're rarely heard in these parts, so don't pass this chance up! This is a band with a huge repertory and the ability to do just about anything that strikes their fancy in concert, and no two Strawbs shows are the same. Says Canada's Edmonton Sun: "Hearing the brilliant Strawbs was like a tutorial in UK folk music from the past 40 years." Original Strawb Dave Cousins has just released a book of lyrics, "Secrets Stories Songs," containing commentary on many Strawbs songs, and the band has reissued their classic 1967 Copenhagen sessions with Sandy Denny on a box set that's a priceless document of British folk.
