372) Tim Hollier — “In Silence”
A gentle ode to silence and daydreams by the great Tim Hollier (see #298, 299). Think “The Sound of Silence” but without the electric guitar solo the record label stuck in. Paul Cross calls the song “majestic folk-pop.” (http:/rockasteria.blogspot.com/2018_12_12_archive.html)
“In silence . . . I hear the truth I have always known.”
Bruce Eder is right on — “Tim Hollier was one of the most unfairly neglected of folk-based artists to come out of late-’60s England, his brand of trippy, quietly elegant psychedelic folk-rock deserving an infinitely wider hearing than it got.” (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/tim-hollier-mn0002024094)
