Inhalt

This is an album from what, in my opinion, was the Strawbs' heyday. It is full of obscure symbolism and Dave Cousins' unique brand of mysticism - to the point where I'm still not quite sure what one or two of the songs are actually about - but how much does that matter? Some people disparage this album, saying it's too "pop-py", but I don't agree. The only really folky, acoustic, mainstream album the band has ever done is "Dragonfly". The one before GNW was "From the Witchwood", and that had an equaly number of non-folky tracks - "I'll Carry on Beside You", "Sheep", etc. On GNW Dave's voice is at its best - powerful, wide ranging but controlled and I think the words and arrangements are great. They have the slight touch of psychedelia that was on both "Witchwood" and their first album; just enough to make things interesting without being overwhelming or obtrusive. Some people might thing "Ah me, ah my" and "Heavy Disguise" are the weakest ones, but I like them. They are, as ever, well-crafted songs and bring a welcome touch of humour to the album.
