Reviews
Singer/songwriter Tim Mann’s The Tim Mann Expedition disc - a superb testament to the timelessness of excellent folk/rock. Mann’s original tunes display elements of Roger McGuinn, Cat Stevens and Neil Young ballads, and his version of Gene Clark’s "Spanish Guitar"
is hauntingly reminiscent of the original version. Tunes like "Lover’s End," "When I’m With You," "King’s Castle," "Til Tomorrow" and "Yesterday’s Crime" will have www.fufkin.com readers hoping that Mann treats us to a sophomore release sometime soon.

Tim Mann (who featured an excellent cover of Gene Clark’s "Spanish Guitar" on his last full-length CD) has just released a terrific four-song CD-EP - Hillside Sessions. Mann sounds alternately like Gene Clark, Gordon Lightfoot and Steve Wynn. The tunes fall into the acoustic folk-rock genre, with some light alt-country and Americana brushings.

Tim was a great opener for the evening and got the crowd going with killer rendition of the Beatles song "Its' Only Love" with his friend Russell Chudnofsky on guitar. Tim set the level very high and I knew I was in for a great night of ukulele entertainment.

Tim Mann then took the stage. Tim has a sweet voice and does some very sweet songs. This time Tim was theoretically solo as Greg Hawkes, his usual uke-companion did not think he was going to be able to make the show. Fortune intervened though and Greg not only was able to attend, but also joined in with Tim for a few numbers. Craig Robertson also joined in for the final song. www.ukeapalooza.com
Greg Hawkes and Tim Mann ukulele played for the new century- request ditto. www.jazzukes.com
Greg Hawkes and Tim Mann: this talented duo writes new songs for the ukulele with a pop/rock flavor and a twist of irony. Greg, originally the keyboard player for The Cars (a nationally known band in the 1980s) also adapts some of their familiar hits, and you’ll be amazed at how two hardworking ukuleles can do the job of drums, keyboard, bass, sax, and guitar!

Tim's sound incorporates a love of traditional roots music combined with a modern rock twist that blends into a unique synthesis of melodic rock and Americana Folk. Whether solo or with a band Tim creates driving music with thoughtful lyrics to move the heart and chill out the soul.
