About
The traditional oriented “Soldiers Three” opens this extraordinary wonderful psychedelic folk album, and it’s vocal arrangements for several voices and medieval like guitar interludes gives a strong first impression. “Murdoch” has a strong tempo driven by acoustic guitar, and an enchanting verse with overdubbed double vocals. “Polly on the shore” is one of the essential tracks here, a long psychedelic voyage with beautiful features. “Adams Toon” is a short medieval like guitar piece introducing “Sally Free & Easy”, which creates a fine tension with piano driven opening, and powerful verse from the whole band. “Fool” is also a great song, this being more conventional folk rock with traditional oriented melodies and lyrics. “Geordie” resembles the early Fairport Convention minor ballads from its melody, which is truly beautiful, and the weeping electric guitar accompanies Celia’s voice. The rest of the tracks are quite average as compositions, but still fine performances. The re-mastered sound on the CD is very clear, and there’s an informative booklet within, so if you like psych oriented folk, I recommend checking this album out. The original vinyl version of this record should be quite hard to find and very expensive, luckily there are some reissues moving around of it too.

About
British psychedelic folkrock group Trees released two records in 1970. The debut (currently being reviewed) and slightly more stately yet stiff ‘On the Shore’. Both albums are hailed as favorites by listeners.
Trees has a sound that reminds us of Sandy Danny era Fairport Convention and early Steeleye Span; traditional and pure female vocals, folky guitar drones, some playfulness and beautiful ballads in the minor key. Yet Trees is slightly more progressive then beforementioned bands with some nice psychedelic electric guitar playing and a more dynamic approach to songwriting – which becomes appearant mainly on the first side of the record. Trees makes good use of two skilfull guitarplayers, which also adds to the progressive vibe. The title track is surely one of the most beautiful folksongs I’ve ever heard, the vocals of Celia Humphris are outstanding.
Conclusion. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite folk records and I can warmly recommend it to every-one with even the slightest interest in folkrock of progressive folk. This is what collecting little known music from the progressive period is about. Five stars.

About
Trees – английская фолк-рок группа, которая просуществовала всего три года, 1969-1972. Хотя коммерческого успеха они не имели, с годами, уже после распада, группа обрела популярность. Как и другие фолк-группы того времени, на их творчество повлиял коллектив Fairport Convention, но у Trees музыка получилась тяжелее и с явным психоделическим уклоном. В репертуаре Trees были как каверы народных песен, так и собственные композиции.
Группа записала два студийных альбома в 1970 году – The Garden of Jane Delawney и On The Shore. После этого группа в своем первоначальном составе распалась. Затем образовался второй состав Trees, в котором коллектив играл до 1973 года. В него вошли музыканты Celia Humphris, Barry Clarke, David Costa, Barry Lyons (экс-Mr Fox), Alun Eden (экс-Mr Fox) and Chuck Fleming (экс-JSD Band).
