Description

As primary singer and songwriter for San Francisco legends The Mother Hips, Tim Bluhm amassed a peerless portfolio of enduring classics, one that reached a criminally limited, albeit dedicated audience. Since the demise of the band earlier this year after the departure of co-writer/singer/guitarist Greg Loiacono, Bluhm has continued to ply his trade in various musical settings (including sets with Loiacono, together self-releasing the majestic studio album 'Ball-Point Birds' late last year), but 'The Soft Adventure' marks his first solo venture since '99's 'Land and Sea Chanteys'. The six track EP is paired here with an unreleased solo record from 1996, 'Colts', and together they offer insight into Bluhm's solitary lifestyle (he continues to live a semi-nomadic existence along the Californian coast in his trusty van). As expected the songs are imbued with a West Coast flavour, reminiscent of Parsons, Clark and Young, with an infusion of country balladry and yearning.
