The Strawbs
Halcyon Days: The A&M Years (36 minutes, Moderate)
Pace Breakdown
Slow Walk |
7:22 |
Distance: 1.6 to 2.4 miles |
The Strawbs successfully blended poetic English folk, jazzy progressive rock, and interesting lyrics to forge a unique sound throughout the 70s. From a wogger’s point of view, their only problem is a tendency toward rhythmic inconsistency when their jazz instincts take over. Still, ignore the occasional beat hiccup—this is one tasty wogging set!
