This debut release from People Tree Records, appropriately entitled ‘Welcome To The People Tree’ focuses on folk flavours from the past to the present. Over fifteen tracks we’re treated to tripped out delights such as Linda Perhacs’ ‘Paper Mountain Man’, John Martyn’s ‘Glory Box’, ‘Swallow’ from Circulus and a version of the evergreen ‘Corn Riggs’ by Marked & Joff. Joy Jones contributes ‘Troubles (Cure Me)’ but the real standouts are ‘Pure English Honey’ by former Mother Earth front man Matt Deighton, the poetic ‘Where The River Bends’ from Cry Earth and the outstanding jazz-folk sound of Grand Union’s ‘Morning Brings The Light’.
