The most comprehensive collection...
, December 6, 1999Reviewer:
Charles A. Alvarez - See all Charles A. Alvarez's reviews of some the most endearing Strawbs material from perhaps their best period. This collection offers an excellent view of this group on what otherwise would go unheard in the United States(most of The Strawbs material is out of print here.). "Halycon Days" offers a wide variety of the group's eclectic blend of British folk, European medievalism, glam rock. A must buy for fans of progressive rock whom might have not ever have heard anything from this wonderful group. -
A superb collection of classic rock
, October 17, 1999Reviewer: ambrosiawine - See all ambrosiawine's reviewsThe Strawbs are the embodiment of the legacy of British classic rock. This awesome 2-disc collection contains their greatest songs with the refreshing clarity of digital sound, allowing the listener to upgrade from their crackly vinyls. This beautiful collection of hard rock is well worth the money.

Pro Reviews: Halcyon Days: The A&M Years
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews In the course of nine years, the Strawbs evolved from an obscure, quirky British bluegrass group into one of the most beloved progressive rock bands in the world. This 150-minute collection covers most of that history, encompassing most (but not all) of the key songs from their nine AM albums, as well as lost B-sides, songs by ex-members Richard Hudson and John Ford, and a pair of tracks off of Dave Cousins' 1972 solo album Two Weeks Last Summer. The selection of material is inspired, juxtaposing rarities with a good deal of important music from the core of their output. The programming straddles the collectable and the historical/musical significance of the material, so we get early 1970s FM hits such as "The River" and "Down by the Sea" sharing space with material such as "Martin Luther King's Dream" and subsequent extended progressive material like "Ghosts." The range of styles is daunting, from Dylanesque acoustic folk-style numbers to extended songs in which Mellotrons, synthesizers, and loud, complex electric guitar runs are the dominant presences. - Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |

The Strawbs Biography
One of the better British progressive bands of the early '70s, the Strawbs differed from their more successful compatriots -- the Moody Blues, King Crimson, Pink Floyd -- principally in that their sound originated in English folk music, rather than r...Full The Strawbs Biography
