DAVE COUSINS AND BRIAN WILLOUGHBY: THE BRIDGE, 1994

Though not strictly a Strawbs album, Dave and Brian's second duo album nonetheless features many past and present Strawbs (and Welsh chanteuse Mary Hopkin). (It may still yet be re-released by Witchwood Records.) A mixture of recent compositions (the live favourite "You Never Needed Water" and "Morning Glory") and songs rescued from earlier days ("Song For Alex" dating back to the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1968 and "Oh So Sleepy" recorded by the band at the Deep Cuts sessions).
