If you like eccentric, obscure, weird albums: here's Tiny Tim for you. Tiny Tim could best be described as Daniel Johnston, deciding to be a vaudevillian, scary guy with a ukelele, singing high-pitched falsetto, instead of sitting in his room, being very autistic. The hysterical voice of Tiny Tim works very well with the way too positive songs he's playing. And there are so many fantastic quotes, like this one: 'never hit your grandma with a shovel, it will make a bad impression on her mind'.Hilarious spoken words parts are followed by actual psychedelic offerings, but as always, it all falls back into the upbeat ukelele songs. He kept on playing until his death, and he actually died during a show, collapsing on stage after having a heart attack. When his third wife asked him if he was O.K., he responded 'No, I'm not', and that was that. Essential listen, I promise you.
