Most people my age know at least two Tim Hardin Songs - even if they have never heard of him. If I were a Carpenter and Reason to Believe were everywhere in the late 60's and early 70's. Covered by the likes of Joan Baez, Dylan, Rod Stewart and Glen Campbell.
I have a greatest hits CD which has all his well known songs but really like this album - coincidentally his second. In addition to If I were Carpenter if also has a few songs rated and covered by others
Sadly after this album drugs started to take hold and the promise was never really delivered on.
