Our Take

Prepare to saddle up and ride through the wild and expansive musical landscape of Ginger Baker's "Horses And Trees" on this limited edition white vinyl release. Known for his explosive drumming with Cream and Blind Faith, Baker's solo work showcases a mellower yet still eccentric side to the legendary musician.

From the opening track, "Triptych," Baker sets the stage with intricate percussion work that effortlessly glides between jazz, rock, and world music influences. The album has a hypnotic quality that draws you in and refuses to let go, much like trying to tame a wild stallion.

Tracks like "The Day the Sun Came Out" and "Mountain Time" showcase Baker's ability to create lush sonic landscapes that transport you to another realm. The use of exotic instruments such as the tabla and djembe adds layers of texture and depth to the overall sound.

While "Horses And Trees" may not have the high-octane energy of Baker's earlier work, it serves as a testament to his musical versatility and innovation. This album is a must-listen for fans of experimental jazz and world music, as well as those who appreciate a good old-fashioned auditory adventure. So saddle up, grab your cowboy hat, and take a ride with Ginger Baker on this musical journey through the trees. Giddy up!
