Reader's poll voted "Through the Trees" one of the ten essential Americana albums.
"The country music husband-wife duo Brett and Rennie Sparks write and perform dark and elemental, mischievous and mournful. Their third album, is still their best, with enduring songs like "Weightless Again" and "Cathedrals". Their lyrics read like American gothic short stories; their melodies sound like they're channelling each and every one of the ghost riders in the sky; and Brett sings like the unnatural union between Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. Recorded in various living rooms and bathrooms on equipment borrowed from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy" - Mojo
