Check out ‘Los Angeles band Whispering Pines…their new album “Family Tree” the title track is one of the best TREE songs around!

I’m partial to Rachel Proctor’s “Strong as the Oak” from her debut album, a tragic song about a woman who refuses to love her husband even after he buys a tree for her.

I was always partial to a Clint Eastwood song from the movie PAINT YOUR WAGON – “I Talk To The Trees”

I submit Lemon Tree by Fools Garden. This is not a country song but I find this one quirky.

Chorus:
I wonder how, I wonder why, yesterday you told me bout the blue blue sky
Then all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I’m turning my head up and down
I’m turning turning turning turning around
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

I don’t think it’s the greatest song every written about trees, but when the song came out I couldn’t get enough of it….Pam Tillis Shake The Sugar Tree

How could I forget Paul Brandt’s heart wrenching “The Sycamore Tree” from his 1999 album ‘That’s The Truth’. That is the best tree song in my opinion!

Wade Hayes and Darryl Worley have their own “Family Tree” songs. Love Both.

And yes, the Screaming Trees are awesome.

Noeller, I saw Lisa twice last year at the Bluebird Cafe, the second time with hubby Paul Jefferson. They were great. I have all 7 of Lisa’s cds and can’t understand why she hasn’t had more success. I call her Canada’s best kept secret. Lisa’s not only a great singer, she has co-written almost all of the songs on her last 4 cds.
