The Crying Tree is the second and final studio album by Boston, Massachusetts–based alternative country band Blood Oranges. It was released in 1994 on the East Side Digital label, and was produced by Eric Ambel.[1]
Scott Schinder of Trouser Press wrote that the Blood Oranges "really blossom" on the Crying Tree, adding that "[Jimmy] Ryan contributes fine, rollicking workouts like "Halfway 'Round the World" and "Titanic," but the real revelation here is the dusky-voiced [Cheri] Knight, whose four songs include the epic "Crying Tree" and the heart-rending ballad "Shadow of You.""[1] In 2013, Darryl Smyers called the album "...an alt-country gem waiting to be rediscovered."[2]
