In the peak of popularity of the Electric Folk Genre, the Trees sprung out. Similarly to the Hottest Band in the movement, Fairport Convention, they also played Traditional Songs and had a Female singer to match Sandy Denny (since we are talking about Electric Folk, why not mention Steeleye Span and Maddy Prior), while being much more prone to Guitar Solos and assorted things. The Band only released two Albums during their year and a half of existence and none of them achieved any kind of success. Both were released in 1970, early and late, and the lack of response, brought them to an end. A second Line-up got together soon after and continued for the next two years, with Musicians coming from Mr. Fox and J.S.D. Band. This incarnation of the Band can still be heard on rare Bootlegs. Back to The Garden Of Jane Delawney, while most of the Songs sound like very old Folk Tunes, the grand majority are in fact, Original songs, while there still being a quite big number of old Folk Songs, as was customary in the time.
Best Tracks - "Nothing Special", "The Great Silkie", "The Garden Of Jane Delawney", "Lady Margaret", "Glasgerion", "She Moved Thro' The Fair", "Road" and "Snail's Lament". A very good Folk Album, with nice Vocal melodies and Guitar work. It has become a classical Album on the Folk Rock Movement, as has the Band.
