It’s a really moving tribute, beautifully sung, and I’m looking forward to the new album later in the year (Johnny Coppin BBC Radio Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset & Wiltshire ).

Tim Grimm had not intended to write and release another album of songs in 2020/2021, but that was before the world turned upside down and masks & social distancing became the norm....before concerts and theaters were shuttered... before the weight of cultural and social anxiety became seemingly unbearable under the dark veil of a Trump presidency.

Grimm has often felt that all songs are either love songs or political songs.... And in times like these, for him, they are often one and the same. In nine tracks, Grimm’s album GONE reflects on dreams past and present, and on personal and community loss. As a collection of songs, it weaves deftly between the simple clarity of a songwriter’s observation and a use of metaphor that is at once both uncomplicated and beguiling.

Tim Grimm released the title track as a single last fall and it rose quickly to become the Number One Song of 2020 on the Folk DJ charts. GONE was also nominated as Song of the Year in the International Folk Alliance Awards 2021. DREAMING OF KING LEAR is the second single from the album Gone is at the moment of writing and getting the same strong response
