Episode 7: Dave Cousins - The Strawbs' / "Settlement"

<p>Dave Cousins is the leader of the legendary band The Strawbs, who have been recording albums since the late 1960s. He's also, as it turns out, a delightful fellow with which to have a conversation. Dave joined me to discuss his band's latest release, "Settlement." The album was recorded remotely by the band during the pandemic lockdown and Dave talked about how he hasn't been able to go back to his own home due to his basement flooding, having to buy gear to record the album at home, and various lyrical and musical stories behind the songs. </p> <p>Find out more about The Strawbs <a href='http://www.strawbsweb.co.uk/'>here</a>.</p> <p>I appreciate you listening!
