Tim Hardin 1

The debut, which opens its second side with "Reason to Believe".
Tim Hardin, 1966

Val Valentin engineered, and Lisa Law took the cover photograph. Session players included Bob Bushnell and Walter Yost on bass, Earl Palmer, Buddy Saltzman and Jon Wilcox on drums, Gary Burton and Phil Kraus on vibes and John Sebastian on harmonica, with strings arranged by Artie Butler. The strings were overdubbed after the main recording without his consent, and some songs were demos that stayed on the release. AllMusic's Bruce Eder gave it 4.5 stars, calling it one of the most powerful and compelling records of its era, and it is number 711 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.
