The Strawbs From The Witchwood album holds a central position in progfolk; the culmination of Dave Cousins' enthusiasm for folk, and the last album Rick Wakeman played on before defecting to Yes. But what a disappointment this album actually is! Dave Cousins doesn't have much of a voice imo, and the harking back to days of yore comes across as contrived to me. Judge for yourself, on what most people consider to be the album's standout track:-
