A Stranger In This Time (2017)

“One of the leading folk and Americana exponents, Tim Grimm, delivers his latest album rich in imagery and potent of lyrics. The personal, the political and the social are all examined, alongside tunes of real beauty delivered with glorious textured vocals. Tim is supported, in writing and recording, by his sons Jackson and Connor alongside his wife Jan, who weighs in with harmonica and vocals. Social issues also feature strongly in the managing “Black Snake” and the excellent “The Hungry Grass”. However, it is in the more personal songs that the album really hits home. “So Strong”, an effecting portrayal of his relationships and “Finding Home” are little gems, but possibly the stand-out track on the album is “Thirteen Years”. A song about a tree falling on the family farm in the 1940s and the wood being saved by Grimm’s father and turned into a guitar which was used to record this album. Superb stuff. An outstanding collection of songs by a multi-talented artist.” (Americana UK)
