Description

This collection combines Tim Hardin's Suite For Susan Moore (1970) and Bird On A Wire (1971). My favorites are the tracks from Bird On A Wire, where Hardin returns to his roots with a smoky jazzy vocal delivery, supported by guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, vibes, cello, harp and pedal steel. Leonard Cohen's title track and songs like his cover of Satisfied Mind and his own composition Hoboin' display a poignant sense of longing. More than a dozen folk and jazz musicians worked on this album, but keyboardist Joe Zawinul and guitarist Ralph Towner deserve special accolades for theirmore… instrumental virtuosity that subtly and successfully integrates Hardin's various stylistic influences. As a romantic musical poet, Hardin was unique in that he straddled the fields of folk and blues. His symbolic imagery and haunting vocals remind me somewhat of that other tragic singer-songwriter, the great Nick Drake. After the release of these accomplished albums, Hardin settled in the UK where he occasionally played on the club circuit. While resident in Britain he released the unimpressive Painted Head (1972), the somewhat better Archetypes (1973) and the excellent Nine (1974).I also recommend the albums Reason To Believe: The Best Of, the double set Suite For Susan Moore And Damian/Bird On A Wire and The Essential Classic Hardin, 1963 - 1980.
