Album Review: Tim Hulsman - Dead Man's Garden

From when Tim Hulsman first began to learn his now highly-accomplished lap slide guitar, this album has been in the works. Dead Man’s Garden is a record of determination, persistence and resilience in the face of adversity. Deeply personal in a way seldom so prominent and forthright, Hulsman’s stories are a sharing of his life with his listeners, from his experiences in his work, his love and his family. Beginning with a wonderful rendition of Huddie ‘Lead Belly’ Ledbetter’s Goodnight, Irene, the album features song after song of heartfelt singing, playing and musical interaction.
