JIM O ROURKE - BAD TIMING

“A musing on popular standards and an all-instrumental down mainstreet, USA. Come for the history lesson, stay for the coming of age statement! Jim's pop epic is a personal message, personally from Jim to you.”

Jim O’Rourke’s much loved country rock album Bad Timing [1997] is now repressed on vinyl for the first time following its 20th anniversary of release. Recorded at Steamroll, the same site as his more explicitly avant-garde conceptions, this album is a subtler exploration of acoustic country rock proper, where O’Rourke only occasionally flashes his experimental teeth, gently ruffling the feathers of America’s sincerely loved down-home style in four breezy, extended works of lyrical guitar playing.
