About / Biography

Bruce Dennil South African music writer, “‘Eleazar Strachan, style recalls Bob Dylan's, with his long rambling, poetic original work, songs that begins with the familiar folk style of previous work soon explodes with a touch of rock licks and rhythms, on his flowery acoustic guitar.

This is Strachan at his best."
