Trees was an English folk rock band that existed between 1969 and 1973. Although the group met with little commercial success in their time, the reputation of the band has grown over the years. Like other folk contemporaries, Trees’ music was influenced by Fairport Convention, but with a heavier and more psychedelic edge. The group’s material was divided between adaptations of traditional songs and original compositions.
