The late pedal-steel guitarist Susan Alcorn leaves a final surprise hinting at new directions left underexplored on her collaboration with Nomad War Machine, the improvising metal duo of drummer Julius Masri and guitarist James Reichard.

Nursery Cryme saw the band take a more aggressive direction of some songs, with substantially improved drumming.

The song, a macabre fairy story set in Victorian Britain, became the inspiration for the album cover, and went on to be a live favorite. This album played a pivotal role in establishing the band's progressive rock sound and laid the foundation for their future success. Although Peter Gabriel remained the band's primary vocalist, Collins' distinctive voice began to shine through on tracks like 'For Absent Friends' and 'Harlequin.'

Veteran critic Michael Corcoran describes the band's sound as having Incha prog-like thickness while staying grounded in roots rockInch, while William Michael Smith says Churchwood is InchDense and nasty, literate and mean...Inch. Churchwood is recommended for those who favor artists such as Captain Beefheart, Nick Cave and Tom Waits who push the lyrical and musical boundaries of the blues form.
