Tiny Tim was born Herbert Khaury in 1930s New York. He’s best known for his incredible repertoire of vintage American popular music sung in myriad guises, from women to old men, most notably his falsetto interpretations of classics such as ‘Tiptoe Through The Tulips’ and old Tin Pan Alley tunes. Lost & Found 1963-1974 collects 17 rare and previously unreleased songs recorded between 1963-1974, from ‘Maggie May’ repositioning Rod as an old man to a blues-style cover of Vernon Dalehart’s ‘The Prisoner’s Song’ (1924), an arresting cover of classic 1800 folk tune ‘Little Girl (In The Pines)’ and a demented cut of ‘If I Had A Talking Picture Of You’ from the musical ‘Sunny Side Up’, which was coincidentally funded by Milton Glaser aka the guy who designed…
…the I Heart New York T-shirt. Like the best art, Tim treads an ambiguous line between novelty and genius, and if you’ve never heard of him before, prepare to p*ss yourself laughing while staring at the speakers in bafflement.
“I listened to this album absolutely entranced. Tiny’s genius is, I have always felt, utterly indescribable. Bizarre, devastatingly real, funny, sad—this album shows Tiny Tim as the emotionally naked and inspired innocent he was.What a remarkable man and artist, revealed as even more remarkable by this glorious and gorgeous album. ” – David Tibet (Current 93)
