It is difficult to describe a record like Tiny Tim's 2nd Album, due to the deep emotional charge that albums like this inevitably generate over time and after a number of listens. But what can be added about pieces of this category will never be enough.
Although chronologically it could be classified as psychedelic or barroque pop, it would not be unfit to add the "vaudeville" label to the New Yorker's second album, owing to its beautifully aged sound and to the fact that, as a remarkable archivist, Tiny Tim covers songs from decades earlier, from times when the world still had some of the romantic spirit of the 19th century. In that sense, it is a record that stands out for its honest sound and a spirit that only evokes kindness and harmony, which end up shaping an album rich in its diversity, with a repertoire that ranges from deeply melancholic ballads to playful and lively rock & roll, with a huge stretch between both ends –with a sound share of crazyness in between.
Tiny Tim's 2nd Album is a record within which boredom is inexistent, but whose essential value, beyond that, lies in Tiny Tim's vocal performance, so genuine and sensitive, which attracts the listener not only in the merely formal grounds of music, but also in an emotional plane. A beautiful work with an unparalleled sincerity. —IMF
