Trees (1986) is a work of art by Terry Allen for the Stuart Collection. It is comprised of three tree sculptures, a "singing" tree, a "talking" tree, and a "silent" tree.

For the music tree, William T. Wiley, known for his paintings filled with literary puns and eccentric maps, sings Ghost Riders in the Sky, accompanying himself on a homemade instrument; West Texas singer Joe Ely sings Mona Lisa Squeeze My Guitar, while the Maines Brothers work pedal steel guitars, a Thai band plays, and filmmaker/musician David Byrne sings a song he composed especially for this project.
