Album Notes & Community Reviews

Incorporating string sections and subtle jazz rhythms, Hardin's debut distances itself from the bare acoustic sound of the Greenwich Village scene. His distinctive, blues-inflected vocal vibrato carries introspective ballads like 'Reason to Believe', framing his confessional lyricism in lush studio production.
