Tim Grimm - Heart Land Again (2019) [Hi-Res]

“Twenty years ago, I recorded the first Heart Land. The songs were the result of falling in love again with the rural Midwest and its people. My wife Jan and I made a conscious choice to relocate from Los Angeles to an old 80 acre farm in south-central Indiana. In these 20 years, we have lost many of the characters in these songs, but they now ‘live’ every time I sing about them. Our sons Jackson and Connor were five and seven when I recorded the original album, and none of us could have imagined they’d become the musicians they are now. They both put their stamp on this new recording in numerous ways, and encouraged me to look afresh on several tunes. I still sing these songs – for me, they’re ‘keepers’ after all these years, and it brings me great joy to show them in a new light.”

"Taken purely on its own merits, for diehard Tim Grimm fans, ‘Heart Land Again’ will prove a welcome addition to their collection and the album is certainly not a bad way for those new to his work to get into Grimm’s music, too. But it’s hard to avoid the feeling there are more interesting ones, already out there."
