Tim Harwill Pruden Thru The Bottom Of A Glass Harwill Music
Tim Harwill is originally from the Manitoba Lake District but is now based in Alberta. Both his songwriting and his singing strongly reflect a sense of prairie-country roots. He’s a pretty good 12-string troubadour, but his strength is the vulnerability of his vocals. He has that quavery-rhythmic, high, lonely, soulful, somewhat strangled sound that Sammy Bodean displayed on the best of The Bodeans songs. His songwriting is strong, too. Plough Boy Blues, Thru the Bottom Of A Glass, Finer Place, Match Made In Heaven, and Still Singin’ are all fine examples of his craft. Catfish John Peterson adds harmony vocals and some fine harmonica work to a disc that tries to capture Harwill’s live sound and succeeds pretty well. By Barry Hammond. |
