Review by Diego Belmar

Lie Back And Think Of England is a classic album by the Oyster Band that showcases their unique sound and style. The album is a mix of traditional folk songs and original compositions that are both powerful and poignant.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and catchy melody. The Oyster Band's signature sound is on full display throughout the album, with the use of acoustic instruments and rich vocal harmonies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Road to Santiago," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a young man's journey to find his true love. The song is beautifully arranged and features some of the band's most impressive vocal harmonies.

Another highlight of the album is "The Oxford Girl," a lively and upbeat song that showcases the band's ability to write catchy and memorable hooks. The song is a perfect example of the Oyster Band's unique blend of traditional folk music and modern rock sensibilities.

About The Oyster Band

Oysterband (originally The Oyster Band) is a British folk rock and folk punk band formed in Canterbury around 1976. The band formed in parallel to Fiddler's Dram, and under the name "Oyster Ceilidh Band" played purely as a dance band at first. The name Oyster comes from the group's early association with the coastal town of Whitstable in East Kent, known for the quality of its oysters. Their first album, released under the Oyster Ceilidh Band name, was Jack's Alive (1980) on the Dingles record label. Subsequent albums, as "Oyster Band" (sometimes "The Oyster Band") were released on the band's own Pukka Music label: English Rock 'n' Roll: The Early Years 18001850 and Lie Back and Think of England, followed by Liberty Hall and 20 Golden Tie-Slackeners.
