Night Wings   Tim Hollier (UK,1971)***'

This is a wonderful reissue of 24 all classic songs from Tim Hollier, compiled from his first three albums of four recorded between 1969 and 1971. One could place him somewhere between the earliest Tim Buckley, Pearls Before Swine, Perry Leopold and perhaps someone like David Wiffen or so. His voice is beautiful and mature, the songs sound terrific. The arrangements are perfect and beautiful. They are partly orchestrated, sometimes delicate, like a Pearls Before Swine and sophisticated, or with 60’s psychpop group, or very arranged in a time when arrangements really made such songs blossom. The 24 songs do not have any exhausting moment. Recommended.
