Tim, Tim, and Vashti

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Three songwriters from the '60s are featured: Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, and Vashti Bunyan. Hardin and Buckley both had very distinctive voices and creative, exploratory approaches to songwriting; both were "folk" singers who were improvisors and experimentalists; both made some great recordings, and both died young. British songwriter Vashti Bunyan has just released her second album--35 years after her first. The new album picks up the delicate threads of that first one, and offers new material with the familiar, gentle, lovely qualities of her early work, but with a worldly perspective that makes it even better. Host David Garland presents some of the best work by each of these musicians.
