Description
Following the recently released and highly praised Trees 50th Anniversary box set on Earth Recordings, Trees reissue their debut album The Garden of Jane Delawneyas a standalone release.
Its now over fifty years since Trees formation, a band who helped define Acid Folk, creating a sub-category in the lexicon of record dealers and music critics alike.
When we are talking about psych folk or acid folk, we are really talking about music like this by Trees Stuart Maconie, BBC6 Music
Trees first album, The Garden of Jane Delawney (1970) snuggles nicely into contemporary nu-folkies idea of the genre, and shares some of the pastoral-whimsy that characterised The Incredible String Band or Donovan, offset by some stunning interpretations of traditional material and Bias own songs. The record includes readings of Lady Margaret, Glasgerion, the old standard She Moved Thro The Fair, and the extended fade of the groups own Road, presage the explosive instrumental duelling that would come to characterise the follow up album, On The Shore.
The musics arcane power remains intact Mojo.
A fantastic band Record Collector.
Spectacular Uncut.
Sublime Shindig.
Timeless Prog.
Its these two original albums that stand as pinnacles of form The Wire.
