Classic Album Series

The Classic Album Series highlights records from the past, forgotten, overlooked and cherished alike, selected for their influence, relevance and worth.



In this edition, writer, musician and filmmaker Chris Wade looks at the two albums made by the legendary folk rock band Trees, both in 1970, The Garden of Jane Delawney and On the Shore. Overlooked at the time, they have now become seminal albums of their era, influential and timeless to a certain listener. This book goes into the making of them, but mostly focuses on the music's personal effect on the listener. As a bonus there is also a Q and A with the band's singer, Celia Humphris, conducted by the author.

His work includes the acclaimed music project Dodson and Fogg, films such as The Apple Picker, and numerous fiction and non fiction books. He also worked with Rik Mayall who voiced his audiobook Cutey and the Sofaguard and edits the ongoing Hound Dawg Magazine.
