Witchwood biography The band is born from the ashes of BUTTERED BACON BISCUITS in 2014. BBB has played many gigs in Italy with JETHRO TULL, URIAH HEEP and BUD SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION. Those bands give us a indication of the style of the band that release their album "Litanies from the Wood" in 2015. They also did a cover of BLACK SABBATH, "A National Acrobat".

The Strawbs shuffle off the ISB moniker and emerge on the next three songs - the impossibly pretty "Witchwood" and "Thirty Days" and the Fab-Four Acid-Folk of "Flight" - a song on which they sound like The Beatles in 1967 as they've just discovered Magic Mushrooms in a studio full of Acoustic Instruments. It was recorded during the "Witchwood" sessions but was only released as the B-side of "Benedictus," a single from the 1972 "Grave New World" album, with which "From the Witchwood" has the most in common.

From The Witchwood is the third studio album of The Strawbs, or their fourth album if we consider their debut live album Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curious, and was released in 1971. The line up on the album is Dave Cousins, Tony Hooper, Rick Wakeman, John Ford and Richard Hudson. From The Witchwood represents a landmark for the band.
