Nick Edward Harris’s sophomore album sees a significant development of both technique and style combing beguiling and welcoming vocals with a percussive and progressive guitar style that at times nods to the likes of Andy McKee, Thomas Leeb, and John Smith. The result is an album that sits somewhere between John Martyn and Iron and Wine...

The Tall Trees is indeed an impressive collection of tracks (12 in total, with a running time of 45 min, 41 sec). There's something here for everyone.

From the beautiful 'Evening' to the instrumental 'Moscow to Beijing'; from the country infused 'Unarmed' to catchy 'About You', everyone will have a favourite.

It's a chilled out album that will help you unwind after a hard day's work. It's fun, playful and never dull. It's a little slice of mild-folk heaven.
