ALBUM

This Is Tim Hardin (1967)

This collection draws from recordings made in 1963 and 1964, before his better-known Verve albums, and was released only after those records found an audience. The material leans into a straightforward blues style, mixing traditional songs, contemporary blues, and a few of his own compositions.

Artist

Tim Hardin

Tim Hardin was an American singer-songwriter from Eugene, Oregon, who worked in folk, blues, and jazz through the 1960s and 1970s. He wrote intimate, emotionally direct songs that many other artists covered, with 'Reason to Believe' and 'If I Were a Carpenter' becoming especially well-traveled standards. His output was small but his influence on the singer-songwriter tradition has been lasting.
