TIM HARDIN
Talented and innovative folk stylist who widely influenced the singer/songwriter movement
with his poetic material and heartfelt singing. A gentle, soulful singer who owed as much
to blues and jazz as folk, Tim Hardin produced an impressive body of work in the late '60s
without ever approaching either mass success or the artistic heights of the best singer/songwriters.
When future Lovin' Spoonful producer Erik Jacobsen arranged for Hardin's first recordings
in the mid-'60s, Hardin was no more than an above-average white blues singer,
in the mold of many fellow folkys working the East Coast circuit. By the time of his 1966 debut,
however, he was writing confessional folk-rock songs of considerable grace and emotion

Tim Hardin's debut album was something of a happy accident, a killer record
at least a third of which was comprised of tracks intended as demos, while another
half utilized a string orchestra that the artist knew nothing about. Whatever its origins,
Tim Hardin 1 is one of the most powerful and compelling records of its era,
encompassing deeply personal and compelling poetry, blues, rock, and folk
in settings ranging from stripped-down Sun Records-style rock & roll to lightly
orchestrated folk-rock. The beautiful, briskly paced "Don't Make Promises"
-- which, along with "Reason to Believe," became one of the two huge songwriting hits here --
opens the album on an ambitious note, its sound mixing a small-band and string
section behind a confessional lyric. "Green Rocky Road" and the rollicking
"Smugglin' Man" are both more in a traditional folk-rock vein, showcasing
the darker and rougher side of Hardin's singing, while "How Long" carries listeners
into electric blues that is as raw and stripped down as anything coming out
of the British blues boom of the same era, and which could've passed muster
on Chess' Fathers & Sons blues showcase. The result is a seminal folk-rock
album, every bit as exciting and urgent as it was in 1966, and as important
a creative effort as Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited.
And this wasn't even Hardin's best album, though it set the pattern
for everything he did after...(AllMusic)
