Heart Land Again
(Cavalier Recordings)
ACTOR, singer-songwriter and all-round Renaissance man Tim Grimm made the momentous decision to relocate from Los Angeles to a run-down farm in rural Indiana in the dim and distant year of 1999 and the rest, as the old cliche goes, is history.
The original Heart Land album was captured for posterity soon afterwards and Grimm has now been tempted to revisit this musical masterwork, aided and abetted by wife Jan and sons Jackson and Connor.
