You have to like Dave Cousins or this won't appeal, Grumpy Old Rick's keys notwithstanding. Wakeman was with Strawbs for a while, hence the association. Released in 2002 - quite folk/rock oriented, some nice instrumental interludes - a decent listen while not hugely impactful - an indulgence maybe, by two guys whose careers are not, and never will be, in question. They are reworkings ... the songs followed some of time by a coda - the clip below is cut very slightly short, unfortunately, and this is what comes after ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9FGtndRPgo
Nother one for good measure, "Forever Ocean Blue" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPauhGK6_Vg
