Burning for You is the eleventh studio album by English band Strawbs,with cover art by Patrick Woodroffe.
The producer of the album Jeffrey Lesser was,according to songwriter/singer Dave Cousins,"...a great engineer but didn't understand the dynamics of the band". [5] The album was intended to be the final one by the band but Cousins was persuaded to carry on when he met with Clive Davis of Arista Records. [6] The final track here "Goodbye" was meant to be his final word on his career leading the band. [7]
