When I got home from work this evening I found awaiting me a very-well-wrapped parcel containing a dozen CD albums of an English folk group called Strawhead. This is going to be seriously fun. The last album I previously had of their was pressed in 1984 so I have 25 years of songs I have never heard to get caught up on.
Strawhead is a group from the north of England that specializes in English popular songs from the 15th-19th C. and songs about the history of that period. If you have ever heard me sing Madre de Dios, that is one of theirs. Their website is at:
