Trees were a British Folk Rock band that existed between 1969 and 1972. Although they met with little commercial success in their time, the reputation of the band has grown over the years. Like other similar bands at the time, their music were influenced by Fairport Convention , though with a heavier and more psychedelic edge. The group's material was divided between adaptions of traditional songs and original compositions. They produced two studio albums - both in 1970. '' The Garden Of Jane Delawney '' and '' On The Shore ''. The latter featured cover artwork by the Hipgnosis studio. The original group broke up after recording the two albums. A second incarnation of the group formed and played until 1973. This band featured Celia Humphris, Barry Clarke, David Costa, Barry Lyons (ex-Mr Fox), Alun Eden (ex-Mr Fox) and Chuck Fleming (ex- JSD Band ). Recordings by this line-up can be found on bootleg releases. Both studio albums have been released on CD. In addition, a deluxe two disc edition of ''On the Shore'' was released in 2007, containing previously unreleased material. PERSONNEL
