Maria Daines is the vocal side of a quality duo also comprimising of guitarist and musician Paul Killington, the quality of song writing is superb with depth of feeling rarely encountered played and sung with soul - this blues duo pack in duets with vocals and guitar to rival the legendary duels of Page and Plant, Glover and Blackmoor, but never forgetting the roots of blue rock which is the feeling inspired by the words of their powerful songs.
The album starts off with a fearsome lament of feeling and loss 'aint nobody' Maria's wonderful vocals displaying mood and Paul's wailing guitar reflecting the tears. 'one good man', although lighter, doesn't let you off the hook as Maria shows her determination - it keeps you deep inside the cacoon of feeling created in the opening song. The third song on Treebone has Maria opening up to display throaty purrs to soarig vocals while Paul displays his musicianship by staying with her and at times even taking the lead.
The first three songs on this album are worth the purchase price but the beauty of Treebone is that there are 13 songs of shining brilliance that are not restricted to blues rock but also include some country tempo's but never forgetting that a good song revolves around lyrics that touch people.
