An introspective, obsessive artist, Tim Hardin wrote songs that many better-known singers turned to--Marianne Faithfull, Astrud Gilberto, Rod Stewart, Johnny Cash; likewise his "If I Were a Carpenter" has become a virtual standard--but Hardin's own versions are uniquely moving and must be heard. His confessions are soaked in a hieratic, trembling moan, a soft piano or guitar, a keen way of seeing inside every line, and jazz- and blues-influenced phrasing (Hardin sounds like a more urgent, haunted Mose Alison). The Verve collection captures nearly all the great songs, and the visceral pain and illuminating wisdom that was Hardin's genius. --Roy Francis Kasten

Excellent.......2006-11-09

Haven't heard this sound track for years. I am very happy to once again have it as part of my collection.

Very disappointing.......2005-04-30

I bought this album thinking it was a greatest hits compilation of Tim's Verve years. Instead, this seems to be a compilation of demo tapes. The audio quality isn't bad, but most of the cuts are a minute and a half long or so. Many have either very spare instrumention or odd ones, like string sections. Tim sounds fine, but if you're looking for the familiar versions of stuff on Tim Hardin 1-3 or so, forget it. This aint it.

an essential collection.......2002-03-21

this 2 cd set includes hardin's work for verve records, a sixties label that also featured some of the " bosstown sound" acts, as well as luminaries like the velvet underground and the blues project, among others. the second cd consists of outtakes and hardin's not so great tim hardin 4 album. it's alright, but nothing special
the first cd contains numerous classics. the man's work has been covered by bobby darin, the four tops, scott walker, robert plant, rod stewart, the small faces, the psychedelic band gandalf, zz top's frank beard and dusty hill's early outfit american blues, and numerous others. this shows how highly regarded hardin's work was by his contemporaries, bob dylan apparently claimed that hardin was either THE, or one of the, country's greatest living songwriters.
hardin's work is a model of simplicity, and that's why so much of his material is so great. his plaintive, yet powerful vocals are another testament to the importance of the material. this first cd is chock full of classic tunes. many of the best tunes can also be found on the various best of compilations out there, this 2 cd set is for big hardin fans. people with a mild interest in the singer would probably be better off buying a cheaper and briefer disc to start out with.
hardin isn't really a folk singer, his stuff is more jazzy and bluesy. his phrasing is excellent. there are too many classics to list,suffice it to say that the first two hardin records, tim hardin 1 and 2, are simply essential. the song i'm into lately are two that don't show up too often on best of hardin releases: never too far and part of the wind, from his debut. his work will be appreciated by those who like brevity ( most cuts are under three minutes, and many under two!), vocal clarity, and melancholy ballads with a jazzy flavor. little of this is topical, hardin was apparently rather apolitical. hardin is yet another musician who is more appreciated today than at the time, it's too bad he never had any real prolonged success in terms of reaching a large audience. sadly, hardin died in 1980, leaving us these two beautiful early recordings to remember him by.

IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.......2000-11-17

and it it just might not, worth the admission fee for two versions of the above title which remains a haunting beautiful ballad. Tim Hardin has touched everyone and his influence runs deeper than most, listening to disc one confirms this with Red Balloon, Black Sheep Boy,Reason To Believe, all popular covers these days by luminaries such as Paul Weller and Dr Robert. Buy it as an lntroduction to the man, like I did, or as a completist, either way just buy it!!

exotic when listened to in norwich, england..........1999-01-26

On the John Peel show in October, British band Quickspace led by the lo-fi king Tom Cullinan did a cover of Tim Hardins' "If I were a Carpenter." faster and repetitive in the Quickspace kinda way, It got me interested in checking out Hardin - so I did. Hang on to a dream is the perfect way into the world of Hardin, this twists my telescope.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent exploration of Arlen.......1999-07-20

Julie Wilson offers another masterclass performance of songs by Harold Arlen with his numerous lyricists. Arlen's name is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, but his talents as a songwriter were magnificent. Julie Wilson and William Roy mine the Arlen songbook to produce an album of sterling quality, delivering delightful duets on such gems as 'Push De Button' and 'Lydia The Tattooed Lady'. Wilson offers brilliant readings of ballads and rhythm songs, capturing the mood and flavour of each song perfectly. Her sensuous take on 'Last Night When We Were Young' is particularly compelling. Roy's piano embellishments are, as ever, full of wit, sensitivity and formidable musicianship. A stunning offering.

fascinating, multi layered performance, never boring.......1999-03-15

no matter how many time you listen to her, you'll hear something new each time. Julie Wilson is the consumate cabaret singer.

Customer Reviews:

Early Pioneers Of Art Rock .......2006-08-20

Along with the early Pink Floyd, Moody Blues,Soft Machine,Traffic,Yes the band that boasted Keith Emerson on keyboards later of ELP, The Nice created an amalgam of sound capturing primarily classical textured, very experimental manic rock into a very fresh exciting bunch of recordings spanning the gamut from psychedelic singles to long magnum opus's.
This fine sounding 2 CD bargain priced German import collects the entire album, thoughts Of Emerelist, and standouts from their other albums..
Keith Emerson is unmistakable and it is interesting to note the eccentricities that The Nice were so unlike Emerson, Lake and Palmer..
The critics notes within are OK, no additional photos or booklet,but the sound is crisp and for 10 dollars this 2 CD anthology is a bargain packed with over two hours of what later became Prog Rock with The Nice being much more than the urbane laid back.
