Local band Treeline show their range on their long awaited Ep “Hazy Hills.”

Taylor Ackerman, Ryan Dyck and drummer Clayton Smith not only show they can play country blues on my favourite track “Rains on Me” they also show their Caribbean side on  “I‘m Always Thinking” which combines country and pop music.

“Left Field” is an elaborately produced piece of ‘70s style pop combining elements of reggae and blues.

But “Then Them” is where Treeline cuts their blues teeth, with a sweet solo.

To get a feel of the band‘s live show, they also included an outstanding live version of “Rains on Me.” The sound is crisp and clear throughout the recording, which really shows off the breadth of the band‘s skills.
