A lovely dreamy interpretation of this from Rapunzel and Sedayne of Winterflora (aka Sean and Rachel) - excellent Denny-esque vocals, with beeautifully played guitar and fiddle

Claridge has really nailed one of my favourite early Strawbs numbers

One of Cousins' bitter classics

The closing number from Grave New World, reinterpreted by Mr Claridge

A simple treatment with voice, guitar and a hint of keyboard from David Lewis

New contributor Tom McCaughley has recorded this on a Boss BR600 reorder earlier this year

The second of Tom's contributions - another classic Strawbs track

A powerful solo rendition of this Nomadness tune stripped down to just Claridge's voice and guitar.

This modern Cousins number was recorded very simply by Ralph in his new minimalist approach.

The preferred version of this new cover from Ralph is a fairly simple and minimal treatment as well. One of my favourite tracks from Deep Cuts.

Ralph has made a magificent job of this - probably one of the most epic and daunting pieces Cousins has ever written.

For Heather Malcolm's birthday in 2009, some of the Strawberry Fools got their act (virtually) together and recorded this cover of the B-side of "Part Of The Union"

A first for Strawbsweb, a cover version from Ralph of an upbeat pop number from Lambert Cronk's Touch The Earth album.

Still with the Deadlines period, but as heard on the demo on Taste in a more stripped back form, tyhis is the sort of title track from the album (the one with the word "deadlines" in the lyrics).

Ralph has turned his attention to the Deadlines period, and here's a version of this piece, rescued for Deadlines after being discarded from the original long version of "Shine On Silver Sun".

A piano-based treatment of this classic Strawbs pop song

Stuart Douglas sent me this nicely produced version of "Flower" recorded by his band, with a plaintive fiddle picking up what would have been the keyboard part. For more from the band - check out: http://www.johnsimonmusic.com/catchoftheday.htm.

Starting out with Ralph, Les and Pete have added their magic to this one.

A nice, simple guitar and vocal treatment of this Strawbs classic.

Vince Fabiano from New York contributes this "oft-overlooked" track from the classic From The Witchwood. Lots of lovely mellotron and sitar.

After quite an absence another cover from Geoff Alexander - welcome back Geoff

Based in Norfolk Hollow Earth's stage show features such 70s and 80s bands as Strawbs, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Focus and more. Stewart Burchell, their keyboard player sent me this really impressive "from the desk" live recording of a heavy Strawbs classic. Check out their website.

Yet another first - Les has put together a fabulous version of the Fire psych-pop classic. Took him 4 days on and off.

Another first - the first Hudson Ford song on Strawbsweb. Ralph played this while the Strawberry Fools were up in Yorkshire rehearsing - a lovely song, one of Hud's best ever in my view.

A nother web-enabled collaboration, this time between Dick and Pete - I recorded the original track and Pete supplied some piano and keyboard noodling. But most importantly he had the idea of including some of the great man's actual speech ...

A web-enabled collaboration between Ralph and Dick - Ralph recorded the original track and Dick did the middle eight and backing vocals

Bob has produced this simply with a gentle piano backing

Not as fancy as the recorded version, but a lovely song

Played on Chas's old 12-string Ovation guitar, with some software Mellotron cellos and flutes

They said it couldn't be done (or was that shouldn't?) ......

US fan Rick Sarlo enters the fray with a nice cover of Grace.

Les strips this early Cousins classic back to down to basics

Still playing with my software mellotron ....

Witchwood with some cello and choral Mellotron sounds and a threatening fuzz guitar to finish

One of two just received from Ralph - he's tried for a slightly harder interpretation – a sort of attempt at how the Hero And Heroine line up could re-interpret this song...

A Deadlines favourite - with lots of crunchy organ, Lambert-style lead (particularly tasty solo on the outro), and some splashy Coombes-style cymbals.

For many years, a favourite of mine to play - often the first thing I play when I pick up the guitar to get my fingers going. With a little (slightly cheesy) organ in the background.

A collaboration between Pete Rand and Ralph Tonge produces a great take on an iconic Strwabs number

A first, I think - the first Chas Cronk so be covered by one of our contributors

A reinterpretation of this song from Ralph - lots of swirly keyboard figures and jangly guitar then a lengthy instrumental coda instead of the usual accapella finish.

New software on Ralph's computer (Ableton Live for those interested) has produced yet another oeuvre from Ralph - the opening track from Bursting At The Seams.

Ralph has recorded the whole of the Strawbs classic "Autumn" from Hero And Heroine

The emergence of three new versions (Cousins & Cutler, Secret Paths, Acoustic Strawbs) of this From the Witchwood track, long neglected in the live repertoire inspired Ralph to produce his own take.
