An Arboreal Playlist
Introduction In the seventies, I knew of a band called Trees but dismissed them as another folk band, but recently one of the Facebook groups I am in posted one of their songs and I was so impressed that I bought the fiftieth-anniversary collection above, and have been mightily impressed by their work, and given the live songs on here they are still with us in some form (with more original members that the Human League).

The Best Collab We Never Got
I discovered Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan around the same time. I was a senior in high school and going through some stuff mentally that put me in the darkest headspace I'd been in at that point in my life. The purity and emotional nakedness of their music was truly beautiful to me. It was music I had always romanticized in my mind, but didn't think could actually exist. Despite the melancholy lyrics and gothic-folk air to the songs, their music was like a hug that made me feel like everything would be okay. I clung more fiercely to Nick, as his music spoke to me a little more; though I did and still do enjoy Vashti Bunyan's music as well.

And while the bass and drums often get the spotlight, it’s the funk guitarists who inject the soul into every riff, lick, and chord. Their inventive techniques — like the famed “chicken scratch” — helped define a genre that continues to influence musicians across styles today.
