Strawbs
are an English rock band founded in 1964. Led throughout by talented
musician Dave Cousins, they are best-known for their folk-rock and
progressive rock albums of the 1970s and for including Sandy Denny as an
early member of the band (before she joined Fairport Convention) and
Rick Wakeman for two albums (before he moved on to Yes).
Strawbs were
originally known as the Strawberry Hill Boys. Their long-time leader
and most active songwriter is guitarist and singer Dave Cousins (guitar,
dulcimer, banjo, vocals) (born David Joseph Hindson, 7 January, 1945,
in Hounslow, Middlesex). In the early days Strawbs played with Sandy
Denny (later lead singer of Fairport Convention and Fotheringay).
Although
they started out in the sixties as a bluegrass band, the Strawberry
Hill Boys' repertoire soon shifted to favour their own (mainly Cousins')
material. They were the first UK signing to Herb Alpert's A&M
Records and recorded their first single "Oh How She Changed" b/w "Or Am I
Dreaming" in 1968, which was produced and arranged by two highly
influential seventies’ producers, Gus Dudgeon and Tony Visconti, who
also worked on their critically acclaimed first album, Strawbs, which
was released in 1969. (Note: Although that first single was issued in
the U.S. on A&M, neither of their first two A&M LP's were issued
in the US until around 1975.)
