Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving away from the sprawling, mellotron-drenched epics of their previous works, Strawbs opted for shorter, punchier compositions on 'Nomadness'. The album marks a transitional phase for the group, retaining eclectic progressive elements while incorporating a more accessible art rock and pop orientation.
