About this album

Old School Songs is a reflective folk-rock collaboration that pairs Dave Cousins’ distinctive writing with Brian Willoughby’s accomplished guitar work. Issued in 1979, the album extends Cousins’ reputation for literate, characterful songwriting while giving the arrangements a lean acoustic focus that suits the material’s traditional and pastoral moods. Best known from The Strawbs, Cousins brings emotional weight and narrative detail, and Willoughby adds melodic finesse throughout. The record sits comfortably between folk intimacy and rock structure, making it one of the more notable late-1970s projects in Cousins’ catalogue.
