So much soul in these '60s recordings, the prime-period (mid-to-late-'60s) Verve/Forecast cuts by this immensely esteemed singer-songwriter. His original versions of oft-covered classics like If I Were a Carpenter; The Lady Came from Baltimore , and Reason to Believe join his own takes on blues songs like Seventh Son and Rolling Stone . 47 tracks from the classic albums Tim Hardin 1, Tim Hardin 2 and Tim Hardin 4 , with a whopping 17 unreleased recordings!
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.
