Review:
Still a very good album
This is still a very good album. The first Strawbs album I bought was From The
Witchwood, which I loved (and still do), so I rather missed out on the earlier Dragonfly
– although I heard quite a few of these songs when I saw them live in about
1971.
Dragonfly has plenty of that late-60s folky sound with hints
of rock and prog, and a generally slightly bucolic, melancholy feel. I Turned My Face To The Wind, for example, is
relatively brief but is very haunting, and there are several other very good
songs here with very little that sounds like filler.
It's good to see Dragonfly available again and I can
recommend it to anyone who likes thoughtful, tuneful, quite folky music from
the period.
