Nicky Hopkins- The Tin Man Was A Dreamer-LP

Nicky Hopkins’ The Tin Man Was A Dreamer stands out as a rare glimpse of the legendary session pianist stepping up to the mic, delivering lead vocals alongside his distinctive keyboard work. Recorded between late 1972 and early 1973 at Apple Studios in London and Wally Heider Studios in Los Angeles, the album blends English rock sensibilities with touches of Louisiana boogie, especially evident in "Banana Anna." Contributions from George Harrison (under the pseudonym George O’Hara), Mick Taylor, Klaus Voormann, and Bobby Keys add depth to Hopkins’ second solo effort, co-produced by David Briggs, known for his collaborations with Neil Young. This 1973 pressing captures the album in a solid VG+ condition, suitable for regular play with only minor surface marks unlikely to interfere with the listening experience. The vinyl's wear is consistent with an everyday companion rather than a collector’s showcase, making it a practical choice for those curious about Hopkins’ solo voice and the subtle interplay of rock and boogie rhythms here.
