In a perfect line of evolution from their debut album, Visions & Voices, Riley and Elleson's The Blessing Tree continues to develop their progressive Celtic style, this time combining the non-lyrical scat with true lyrics in the vocal arrangements.

They further develop their overall sound along contemporary Celtic classical lines, moving on from the soundtrack quality of their debut album. The result is a timeless work of unimagineable proportion.

Additional instrumentation and outstanding multi-layered vocal harmonies perfectly illustrate sensitive lyrics, beginning with the opening track Come Silver Moon. The welcome shift of Elleson's vocals away from pure scat to lyrics is dramatic.

This album received 5 nominations at the NZ Music Awards and was in the US radio play charts for more than 7 months, reaching a high at number 11 - remarkable for a 'non-US' album and testament to the love and skills of not only the artists, but also the guidance and genius of Grammy award winning producer Jon Mark.
