Our Take

Ah, Milk of the Tree, a compilation album showcasing the groovy sounds of the 1960s folk rock scene. Various Artists come together to deliver a mixed bag of tracks that will have you tapping your toes and pondering life's mysteries all at once. From the psychedelic whimsy of Donovan's "Season of the Witch" to the haunting beauty of Sandy Denny's "It'll Take a Long Time," this album takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of the era. It's a musical time capsule that captures the essence of an era marked by social revolution and artistic experimentation. The standout tracks on this compilation are truly a treat for the ears. Bert Jansch's "Needle of Death" is a masterclass in fingerpicking guitar, while Vashti Bunyan's "Train Song" will transport you to a whimsical world of rolling hills and winding rivers. However, not every track on Milk of the Tree hits the mark. Some songs feel a bit dated or derivative, lacking the spark of originality that made the era so exciting. But overall, this compilation is a must-listen for any fan of 60s folk rock. So grab a cup of herbal tea, light some incense, and let the sounds of Milk of the Tree wash over you like a warm summer breeze. This album is a delightful trip down memory lane that will leave you feeling nostalgic for a time you may never have experienced.
