Ron Sexsmith doesn't make bad albums. Some are a little glossier, some a little more solemn, some a little more inconsistent than others. But all nine have been wonderfully rewarding examples of a very human voice of fragility, with one foot in Paul McCartney pop, the other in Tim Hardin-Gordon Lightfoot folk and his heart in soul music's mix of spirituality and tenderness.

I have a friend who loves to play and sing this one by Tim Hardin; he kinda burned it in my mind: "Reason To Believe." Then of course there's "If I Were A Carpenter." Here's the recorded version: Here's the Woodstock version:

I just picked up this new 2-CD Tim Hardin Collection Hang on to a Dream. I had a bunch of his LP's back when I still had a turntable set-up, but none of them had this song on them. It's...

We'll never forget the summer we discovered our parents' abandoned .45 collection in the garage. In between shiny black discs featuring songs we'd been raised on (probably Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Chicago), we discovered some gems that were totally new to us. Our first introductions to Nilsson, Harrison's solo stuff, Tim Hardin and Steve Young all happened that summer in the garage, and many...

A few pictures from last nights Carbon/Silicon show at World Cafe In Philadelphia. Carbon/Silicon is Mick Jones( The Clash , Big Audio Dynamite ) and Tony James( Generation X ) newest band.

1. I was listening to the Coverville podcast this week. Brian played Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting by The Who from Two Rooms: Celebrating The Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin and noted that Elton John also covered the Who's Pinball Wizard. So your mission, should you decide to accept, is to find other examples of besides these discovered by Fred Hembeck , my co-workers and me: Beatles- You...

Lately I’ve started to cherish an alternate vision of the café folk troubadour scene from the 60s. Instead of the precision-tooled harmonies, fresh-scrubbed faces, matching shirts, proper enunciation and generally annoying pearly wholesomeness of groups like the Kingston Trio, it's one of misanthropic boozers, wannabe jazzbos, and croak-voiced trouble-makers who weren't toeing any party line handed...

Tim Hardin was like a beatnik type singer-songwriter when I was a kid. I hired him to play at my school and I bought all his albums. His biggest song was “If I Were A Carpenter,” but the album before the one with that song had another winner, “Reason To Believe,” tonight's feature. And tonight's [...]

Two things about the booklet that accompanies The Stage Names: the lyrics to each song are written out as prose, and it starts with a quote from the short story by Russian author Tatyana Tolstaya that gave the band its name. The quote sees the progenitor consider the downfall of a latterly obscure singer he is obsessed with, which in the story turns into a treatise into the difference between art and...
