Signal Meridian  :  Signals in Autumn.  (Blue elan LP, 2026).

This is basically a Strawbs  tribute album, played by a group of very capable session musicians.  It's very well  recorded and does justice to most if the songs.

I would have said tribute albums were nit really my thing, but I'm glad I got this.


Any with any connections to the band?  


I read through the insert notes last night and it seems not.   Just long time  admirers of Strawbs.

Doesn't look like it  but WKWTTG is on the album.


Actually the LP doesn't have 'Who Knows etc.'

Google searching for comparative tracklists i am told, incorrectly, that the vinyl  has 10 tracks, including  'Who Knows'.  It   has only 9.  


Maybe it doesn't fit on the less advanced format you prefer? Wink Grin

Been dealing with quite a bit on the personal front so only just received and played through Hippies, Thugs and Heroes. I agree with what everyone else has said. A couple of things I note is that though I recall the thread earlier this year regarding Zara Phillips singing, here it reminds me of Christine Collister on those 80's RT albums. Might be the mix, or just the parts that she sang, but for example on Pauper's Grave it has the same type of cadence. Great to have John Kirkpatrick on record again, and on Siren, the acoustic guitar sort of faintly reminds me of the guitars from Fotheringay.

Interesting note, the album was recorded at Hobosound Studio in Weehawken, New Jersey, 2 miles south from where we live (in the confusingly named West New York, New Jersey!), and about half an hour from where Richard and Zara live in Montclair.  It is also the same studio where Teddy made his country duets album Once More with Jenni Muldaur, and the instrumental wheelhouse for that album came from David Mansfield. I saw Teddy, Jenni with David at a small festival 2 years ago in Jersey City, and he is a wonderful player, so great to see him playing with Richard as well.

I play it a lot till this day. And it's unfairly overlooked sibling, Adventure.


Television ('92) is even more unfairly overlooked, of course.


It took me a long time to give that one a fair hearing. Last time I heard it, I was finally starting to appreciate it.
