"I don't find the music particularly moving, but it feels very sincere and brave. Rappers don't release a 22 minute album of 2-minute lo-fi indie songs for the radio airplay, to be sure.

"An excellent and totally underrated debut. It's full of great songs in the vein of Joni Mitchell. Best tracks are, foolish games, you were meant for me, and, painters. A great album that deserves more attention." Reply

"One of the best albums ever made in my opinion, and I think that if it were in English would be listed MUCH higher on this site" Reply
"Damn! These first 2 Hardin albums just hit the sweet spot, don't they? Painfully short (this is 27 min, Tim Hardin 2 is 23 min), perfectly balanced between introspective and downright poetic tracks and blues rockers, and they feature obviously truly excellent and soulful vocals by the man himself..."

"People give it too much of a hard time because it was a very pop album at the time. I gave it a chance and was satisfied with most tracks." Reply

After a first solo album in 2017 named "Stranger In The Alps", the Californian re-offended with supertrio boygenius the following year with a first EP, now she presents her new side-project with Conor Oberst named "Better Oblivion Community Center ..."

"No matter how great a musician or band may be, everyone, with very few exceptions, makes an ok album. Dr. John is absolutely a music legend in the blues scene. His music is great, his album “Gris-Gris" is one of the best you’ll ever hear. However this album is not. See, the issue with this album ..." [+] Reply
