I had to write something about this much maligned album. I really like the whole album, although I am one of those people who always likes the albums no one...
Though I had a great time at wedding I was at, REALLY hacked off I missed out on this gig. Shine On Silver Sun is still one of my favourites, and I am...
Totally agree Re: Shine On...., one of the most atmospheric tracks I've heard. Gorgeous reverb drenched sound, you can picture the "mirrored Salmon" glistening...

The Strawbs were the last act at a week long folk festival on the South Parade Pier, Southsea. There looked to have been some ery good acts on, but I only ...
It's a pity that some of the crowd at the bar spoilt it by rabitting throughout. I don't understand why some people go to these concerts? I eventually went...
Hi, Ralph. You're not alone in loving this one! Nomadness has long been a favourite of mine. Having just heard it a short time ago, I can attest to the...
I still have the lyric sheet for Nomadness.I find it odd for a band that members were absent from a number of songs.And I am not refering to "Hey Little Man "...

In my opinion Nomadness is a frustrating album...... It features some of DC's very best lyrics, and in Absent Friend and Hanging in the Gallery two of his best...

There's a lot of truth in what you say, Don. However, whilst Nomadness did mark a decline (the Strawbs' version of Goats Head Soup) I think that Deep Cuts ...
Thank God that Strawbs have made songs for all Categories of Strawbs fan. Maybe "Nomadness" is a "frustrating album" for some of us. But not for me. Nomadness...
Everyone has their opinion, Don, and you're certainly entitled to yours. However WRONG you may be, LOL! No, seriously, I can understand where you're coming...

the version of Lemon Pie on the DVD is pretty neat though-but yes I like 'I Only Want My love to grow i you-a good single. Cheers Kiwi Tom...
DC and BW used to perform HITG - in fact their very first tour it was their "soundcheck" song. I think Nomadness sold relatively poorly after H&H and Ghosts -...
Nomadness seems to be one of those albums which inspires debate - I think one of the things which is true is that a bit of inconsistency is nice. An analogy...
Thanks for that Dick. I'd forgotten that HITG was recorded on 'Old School Songs' by Brian and Dave. All the more surprising then, perhaps, that it is not being...

Well not really as they recruited Kirby and Mealing as sessions musicians (at very high sessions-type costs). The real issue was a lack of coherence and band...

I agree with a lot of what has been said so far. Dick pointed out the lack of a full time keyboard player, and I think the whole album doesn't sound like the...
