About this release
Beyond The Willow Tree brings together Cleveland Francis’ early soul-folk recordings across a double LP on Forager Records. His deep vocals and acoustic arrangements place original songs alongside interpretations of Both Sides Now, Hey Jude and With God On Our Side.
The set includes the complete 1970 album Follow Me, with its original artwork and liner notes reproduced inside the gatefold. A second record gathers previously unreleased 1968 demos and a single from 1970, tracing Francis’ reflections on childhood, racial segregation, war and hope.
