Our Take
Our Take
For those unacquainted with the folk rock legend that is Tim Hardin, allow me to introduce you to his second self-titled album, affectionately known as Tim Hardin 2. This limited edition reissue is like finding a rare vintage gem in a sea of forgettable pop tunes.
Hardin's distinctive voice is at the forefront of this album, effortlessly weaving tales of love, heartbreak, and introspection. His songwriting is poetry in motion, with each track delivering a gut-punch of emotion that will leave you reeling.
Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Misty Roses" and the wistful "Don't Make Promises." These songs showcase Hardin's ability to capture the complexities of human relationships with a raw honesty that is both captivating and heartbreaking.
The instrumentation on Tim Hardin 2 is understated yet powerful, with subtle flourishes of strings and acoustic guitar adding depth to Hardin's soulful vocals. The production is crisp and clean, allowing the beauty of Hardin's songs to shine through without any unnecessary distractions.
In a music landscape dominated by flash-in-the-pan pop stars and manufactured hits, Tim Hardin 2 stands out as a timeless classic that deserves to be heard by a new generation of music fans. So grab a cup of tea, settle down by the fire, and let Tim Hardin's beautifully crafted songs wash over you like a warm embrace on a cold winter's night.

About the artist
Tim Hardin
Tim Hardin, the enigmatic troubadour of the 1960s folk scene, is a paradox wrapped in a mystery shrouded in a cloud of cigarette smoke. With a voice that could soothe a crying baby or make grown men weep, Hardin’s music is as unpredictable as a British summer: one moment you’re basking in the warmth of his melodies, the next you’re caught in a downpour of raw emotion. Born in Eugene, Oregon, Hardin embarked on a musical journey that took him from the coffee houses of Greenwich Village to the hallowed halls of Woodstock. His hits, including "If I Were a Carpenter" and "Reason to Believe," are timeless classics that still resonate with audiences today, much like a good cup of Yorkshire tea. But behind the façade of success lurked a troubled soul, plagued by inner demons and a relentless quest for perfection. Hardin once said, “I write when I’m happy and write when I’m sad, and I write when I’m feeling just plain terrible.” It’s this raw honesty that sets him apart from his contemporaries, like a shepherd in a field of sheep. Hardin’s struggles with addiction and mental health are well-documented, adding a layer of complexity to his already enigmatic persona. Like a rare vinyl record hidden in the back of a dusty shop, his music is waiting to be discovered by a new generation of fans who crave authenticity in a world of manufactured pop. So grab a pint of warm ale, put on your best tweed jacket, and settle in for a musical journey with Tim Hardin. You won’t regret it, old chap.
