Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 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.

2 out of 5 stars Very disappointing.......2005-04-29

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.

4 out of 5 stars an essential collection.......2002-03-20

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.

4 out of 5 stars 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!!

5 out of 5 stars 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.
