The Strawbs - Live In Concert - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

(2-CD set) Recorded live during a four week acoustic tour, this album is Lindisfarne's first recording since the sudden death of co-founder and principal songwriter Alan Hull in 1995. The fifteen tracks show that the band's sound was as influenced as much by the R'n'B of the States as it was their own North East roots. Slide guitar, blues harmonica and vocals mix with whistle, accordion and banjo in versions of many of the band's classic numbers. Untapped & Acoustic not only shows that Lindisfarne are still as striking as ever in live performance, but also serves as a fitting testament to Alan's unique songwriting talent. Album Tracks 1.

One of the better British progressive bands of the early '70s, The Strawbs differed from most groups principally in that their sound originated in English folk music, rather than rock. They are best known for their hit InchPart of the UnionInch, which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in February 1973, as well as for InchLay DownInch, a popular progressive rock hit from the same LP. Strawbs toured with Supertramp in their InchCrime of the CenturyInch tour, doing their own InchHero and HeroineInch tour, which drew musical similarities and themes. In a review in Rolling Stone in 1974, Ken Barnes wrote InchStrawbs moved from folkier days to a rich, stately and mellotron-dominated sound, with similarities to Yes, King Crimson and the Moody Blues. They wrote more compelling songs than the former two, and possessed more lyrical/musical substance than the latter.Inch Album Tracks 1. The Last Resort 2. Ghosts 3. No Return 4. Heartbreaker 5. Simple Visions 6. Out in the Cold 7. Round and Round 8. Hero and Heroine 9. Lay Down
