Hero And Heroin

• Hero and Heroine In Ascencia by Strawbs (2011-06-28)

2011 release, a modern interpretation of the band's 1974 masterpiece, Hero & Heroine, recorded in November 2010. Just as the re-interpretation of a Shakespeare play carries a vibrant and powerful message in modern dress, likewise does in Ascencia bring a new drama to these classic songs. Hero and Heroine in Ascencia features visionary songwriter David Cousins, lead guitarist Dave Lambert, and bass player Chas Cronk, the front line of the band from 1974 when the album was first released. Drummer Tony Fernandez returns again to The Strawbs line-up along with classically-trained John Young on keyboards to deliver the most intense, powerful, and poignant performance the band has produced in it's remarkable 40 year history.
