Raven presents two seminal folk-rock albums on one CD from renowned American singer / song writer TIM HARDIN: Tim Hardin 1 (1966) and Tim Hardin 2 (1967). A gentle, soulful singer and brilliant song writer, Hardin combined folk, blues and jazz to become a popular performer on the American East Coast folk circuit. After his success at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival he signed to Verve Records for his debut album Tim Hardin 1 produced by Erik Jacobsen, followed by Tim Hardin 2 a year later. These timeless albums remain two of the most powerful, compelling and startling original works of the folk-rock era. Featuring acoustic guitar-based arrangements and subtle string accompaniment they are packed with "confessional folk-rock songs of considerable grace and emotion" - All Music Guide. Bob Dylan called him "the country's greatest living song writer". Dozens of performers have covered songs from these albums, including Johnny Cash and June Carter ('If I Were a Carpenter'), Bobby Darin ('If I Were a Carpenter'), Rod Stewart ('Reason to Believe'), Scott Walker ('Lady Came from Baltimore'), Fred Neil ('Green Rocky Road'), the Nice ('Hang on to a Dream') etc. Hardin performed at Woodstock in 1969 and recorded several more albums before his death in 1980. This essential 2-for-1 CD includes seven bonus tracks and captures the very essence of Tim Hardin, one of popular music's greatest singer / song writers. With superb quality audio, detailed liner notes and color booklet.
