Treehouse is the second album by the Canadian band the Grapes of Wrath, released in 1987 on Nettwerk. [1] [2]
"Peace of Mind" was the band's first single to reach the RPM singles charts in Canada, peaking at No. 56. [3] "Backward Town" and "O Lucky Man" were also released as singles.
The album was produced by Tom Cochrane. [3] However, he departed the project slightly before it was finished, after conflicting with engineer Ric Arboit over "Peace of Mind"; Cochrane disliked the song and wanted to stop working on it before Arboit or the band thought it was finished. [3] Arboit and Dave Ogilvie finished the final mixes. [3] Cochrane encouraged the band to use pedal steel and keyboards. [4]

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "represents a nifty balancing act between harder-edged rock 'n' roll (courtesy of the Hooper brothers on bass and drums) and a more reflective and breezy folksiness." [1] The Kingston Whig-Standard noted that "the instrumental introduction to 'So Many Times' ends up taking up most of the song, but it's a wonderful blend of piano, organ and drums." [6] The Windsor Star called the album "peppy pop music reminiscent of the Mamas and the Papas and other late-'60s bands that blended folk and rock." [7] The Vancouver Sun deemed "Peace of Mind" "one of the cleanest, freshest songs of the year." [8]
