Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as Rick Wakeman's incredibly brief but spectacularly impactful tenure with the band, 'From the Witchwood' bridges delicate English folk with grandiose symphonic rock ambition. The album is wonderfully lush and deeply spiritual, balancing Dave Cousins' beautifully pastoral, fiercely melodic folk-rock songwriting with highly complex, remarkably progressive keyboard orchestration.
