Various Artists - Milk Of The Tree. An Anthology Of Female Vocal Folk & Singer-Songwriters 1966-1973

Milk Of The Tree is the 3CD box set (60 tracks) focusing on the music made in the late ’60s and early ’70s in both Britain and North America by either female solo artists or acts with featured female vocalists. Along the way, we encounter San Franciscan psychedelia, LA folk rock, Swinging London pop-folk, electric folk, progressive folk and even folk club folk as well as (of course) a plethora of singer- songwriters (including various ladies of the Canyon) from the movement’s golden age.
