About this album

Deadlines is a strong late-period Strawbs album, balancing progressive rock ambition with leaner, more immediate songwriting. Issued in 1978, it finds the band refining their melodic instincts while keeping the arrangement detail and dramatic shifts that defined their best work. The album includes a notable version of I Don’t Want To Talk About It, showing Strawbs’ flair for reworking outside material into something distinctive. Across its own songs, the record moves between reflective balladry and harder-edged rock, making it one of the band’s most accessible releases from the era and a revealing snapshot of their evolving sound.
