Since Trees last CD (On the Shore) on Columbia Records back in 1996, I have felt a massive void in my life. John Digester has compared writing for Trees’s new album to that on ‘On the Shore’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. There were many famous songs of Trees available. If I may, I suggest “Soldiers Three”. That one song is amazing!
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Polly On The Shore is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Adam’s Toon. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on On the Shore is Sally Free And Easy. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Geordie is a great opener for On the Shore. While The Iron Is Hot can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Trees is all about. When listening to Little Sadie, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Streets Of Derry is the more seemingly obscure song on On the Shore that bear up best to repeated listening.
