The Trouble Tree is the debut album by Freedy Johnston, released in 1990 through Bar/None Records. [9] [10]
The album was recorded in Hoboken, New Jersey. [11]
Trouser Press wrote that the album "captures Johnston’s wheedling and whiny voice in extreme close-up, forcing listeners to seek refuge in overextended wordplay and spare guitar-based arrangements." [12] The Spin Alternative Record Guide called it "raw-sounding, infatuated with dangerous sorts, and a bit unformed lyrically." [8]
All tracks are written by Freedy Johnston
