"The Garden Of Jane Delawney" is the debut LP by British band Trees, a cornerstone of early 1970s folk rock that elegantly fuses traditional English folk with psychedelic and progressive rock textures. Originally released in 1970, the album is celebrated for its haunting atmosphere, intricate twin-guitar work and the ethereal vocals of Celia Humphris. Across its tracks, the record moves between reinterpretations of traditional folk songs and original compositions, creating a dark, cinematic sound world full of melancholy, mysticism and quiet intensity. The LP format underlines the album's cohesive, almost narrative flow - this is a work to be experienced from start to finish, with each side unfolding like a self-contained journey through pastoral beauty and eerie, nocturnal moods. Sonically, the record combines chiming acoustic guitars, electric flourishes, dynamic rhythm sections and spacious production that allows every detail to breathe, making it an enduring favourite among collectors of folk, psych and progressive rock.
Trees occupy a cult but highly respected place in the history of British folk rock. Emerging from the same fertile era that produced bands like Fairport Convention and Pentangle, Trees stood out for their darker, more psychedelic approach and for the expressive range of Celia Humphris's voice, which could move from fragile intimacy to almost incantatory power. Although their recorded output was small, their first two albums - including "The Garden Of Jane Delawney" - have since become influential touchstones, rediscovered by new generations of listeners, critics and musicians who value their adventurous arrangements and emotional depth. Over the decades, Trees' work has been repeatedly reissued, sampled, cited in specialist press and championed by connoisseurs of folk and psych, reinforcing the band's reputation as one of the genre's best-kept secrets.
