Album Description

Nicky Hopkins' finest solo album, the memorably titled 'The Tin Man Was A Dreamer' is a solid piece of engagingly edgy pop-rock - picture Elton John's early '70s work with more variety, a few rough edges, & a bit less ego. As one would expect, Hopkins' piano playing (augmented by the organ in spots) dominates most of the songs, but there's ample room for strong contributions from George Harrison (working as 'George O'Hara') on lead & slide guitar on four of the tracks, & Mick Taylor on lead & acoustic guitars on four tracks. The rest of the band includes Klaus Voormann on bass & Bobby Keys on sax, as well as future Tubes alumnus Prairie Prince on drums. Sony Japan. 1997.

5 out of 5 stars Great Find!.......2003-05-08

One of my all-time favorite albums! Yes, my copy is an old and, I'm sure, worn album. (I haven't had a turntable hooked up in at least 10 years, but I still have my album collection.) I've been aquiring CD versions of my "faves". I'm glad to see this is available to add to me CD collection!
