Certainly this follow up album to "Hero and Heroine" is more evocative of somber moods on the part of David Cousins, from the opening "Ghosts" suite to "The Life Auction" to the final track "Grace Darling." In this context "Lemon Pie," the "hit single" from the album, seems out of place, although Dave Lambert's "Don't Try To Change Me" better fits this album than most of his compositions tend to do.I attribute a lot of the atmosphere on the album to the excellent efforts of the under appreciated keyboard player John Hawken, who not only compliments but accents the peculiar moods of the various stylings Cousins invariably produces on each album. "Ghosts" is not as solid as its predecessor, but it certainly continues the musical direction of the group established after Lambert replaced Hudson & Ford. Taken together these two albums pretty much encompass the complete range of musical territory staked out by the Strawbs.Lawrance M. Bernabo
