Capability Brown was a British musical group formed in 1971, named after the 18th-century landscape architect. The sextet consisted of Tony Ferguson (guitar, bass), Dave Nevin (keyboard, guitar, bass), Kenny Rowe (bass, percussion), Grahame White (guitar, lute, balalaika, keyboard), Joe Williams (percussion), and Roger Willis (drums, keyboard). Known for their intricate harmonies and multi-instrumentalism, the band released their debut album From Scratch in 1972. Their repertoire included covers of lesser-known rock songs such as "Beautiful Scarlet" and "Redman" by Rare Bird, "Liar" by Argent, "I Am and So Are You" by Affinity, and "Midnight Cruiser" by Steely Dan. Ferguson and Nevin were the primary songwriters for the group. Following their second album Voice in 1973, Ferguson, White, and Willis left to tour with Christie in 1974, marking the end of Capability Brown.
