Deprived of the main song-writing talent, the remaining Wurzels recorded The Wurzels Are Scrumptious! in 1975, an album containing many favourites from the back catalogue, including a number of previously unrecorded Cutler-written songs. The Wurzels ДЄdge's death marked a turning point in the history of the Wurzels. He was returning alone from a Wurzels show in Hereford in May 1974. ДЄdge Cutler died after falling asleep at the wheel of his MG sports car which overturned on a roundabout approaching the Severn Bridge. A number of live albums were recorded at local pubs and clubs. The B-side Twice Daily was banned by the BBC for being too raunchy. With a thick Somerset accent, Adge played on his West Country roots, singing many folk songs with local themes such as cider making (and drinking), farming, dung-spreading, local villages and industrial work songs, often with a comic slant.Дuring the latter half of the 1960s, the band became immensely popular regionally, and the release of the single Drink Up Thy Zider in 1966 led to national fame and it reaching number 45 in the UK chart. The Wurzels were formed in 1966 as a backing group for singer/songwriter Adge Cutler.

Scrumpy is slang for the potent cider made in southwest England, popular amongst The Wurzels and their fans, and often referred to in their songs. The Wurzels' particular genre of music was called Scrumpy and Western after the group's first EP of the same name, issued early in 1967. It appears to be short for mangelwurzel, a type of beetroot grown to feed livestock. The name of the band was dreamt up by the band's founder Adge Cutler.
