Search - Tim Harrison :: Grey County

A collection of songs ranging from the historical, political, philosophical, to those of a more personal and spiritual nature, all of which are seamlessly woven together by Tim's poetic lyrics and vivid imagery. The new album for the most part includes songs which directly or indirectly relate to the area in which he was born and raised - Grey County! From the societal ill of hatred of "difference" which culminates in the death of a Grey County local ("Dan's Song"); the restlessness and dreams of hometown youth ("We Believed"); the song about a lone gander from the pond by his childhood home ("The Canada Gander's Lament"); to the beautiful melodic ballad, "Grey County Winter", Tim's songs feature his compelling vocals and superb musicianship on 6 & 12-string guitar, mandolin, bass, dobro and banjo. Among other great songs, Tim also offers up a rollicking version of Richard Farina's tune, "Pack Up Your Sorrows", which he heard sung by Mimi Farina at Grey County's (Owen Sound) first Summerfolk Festival where he was founding artistic director.
