The Strawbs are an English rock band founded in 1964 as the Strawberry Hill Boys. The band started out as a bluegrass group, but eventually moved on to other styles such as folk rock and progressive rock.

<i>Hero and Heroine</i> 1974 studio album by Strawbs

<i>Nomadness</i> 1975 studio album by Strawbs

Nomadness is the ninth studio album by English band Strawbs. It was their last album recorded for A&M Records and their first with no full-time keyboard player since 1970's Dragonfly. Indeed, Strawbs would not feature a full-time keyboard player until 1978 when Andy Richards joined the band. All the tracks are timed at less than five minutes giving the album a lighter, less 'epic' feel in contrast to the previous three studio albums. Rick Wakeman came back to help on electric harpsichord on one song.

<i>Heartbreak Hill</i> (album) 1995 studio album by Strawbs

Heartbreak Hill is the fifteenth studio album by English band Strawbs. The album was recorded in 1978 but, due to record deal and management difficulties, was not released until 1995. The recording schedule conflicted with guitarist Dave Lambert's plans to record a solo album, so session musicians Jo Partridge and Miller Anderson were recruited to supply electric guitar.

<i>Dont Say Goodbye</i> (album) 1987 studio album by Strawbs

Blue Angel is the 15th studio album by English band Strawbs. It was the first Strawbs album in 12 years to contain new material and featured several different line-ups of musicians from past Strawbs eras. Welsh folk-singer Mary Hopkin featured on many tracks, continuing a working partnership established by Dave Cousins and Brian Willoughby on their album The Bridge, from which several of the tracks on this album are drawn.

<i>Déjà Fou</i> 2004 studio album by Strawbs

Déjà Fou is the 16th studio album by English band Strawbs.

The phrase déjà fou literally means "already mad". The album delivers the kind of British folk rock the band had built its reputation on.
