Two legends of English Fok music once again join forces together for an album that still produces the sparks that began emitting when they first came together over 40 years ago. "Straws in the Wind" brings Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick back together again in 2006 after fourteen years recording fourteen great performances of ageless traditional songs and tunes. Both need no introduction to longtime fans of the English Folk scene. Their experienced approach to their art lacks none of the fervour of their early days and brings an intensity and maturity born from many years living with the music that is an integral part of their beings.
