Strawbs: Ferryman’s Curse
(Esoteric Recordings)
CD/DL
Out Now
Strawbs return with their first album of new material in eight years. Louder Than War’s Craig Chaligne reviews.
This LP is the first that Strawbs have released through Cherry Red’s progressive rock label Esoteric Recordings which is a perfectly fitting home for Strawbs’s music. This new album is the first to feature new keyboard player Neil Bainbridge who joined the band in 2016. The band having putting on storming live shows over the past few years and this new LP sees them recapture the quality of their mid seventies LP’s “Hero and Heroine” and “Ghosts” when they had shorn off any novelty song tendancies with the departure of John Ford and Richard Hudson.
