Cousins Conrad are the duo of Dave Cousins, the singer/songwriter mainstay of British folk/progressive rock band the Strawbs, and Conny Conrad, leader of the German prog band Dark Ocean. Both musicians play several instruments on their 2005 collaboration, High Seas, Cousins handling all of the lead vocals, with Rick Wakeman adding a piano part on Deep in the Darkest Night. The album is a meeting of folk-rock and prog rock influences, in keeping with the nature of Cousins' work with the Strawbs. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
