Tiny Tim

Americana
Americana

Tiny Tim is a Americana act. Their sound grew out of Rudy Vallée, Earth Angel and Bob Dylan. Those roots explain a lot about how Tiny Tim arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Nico, Gary Wilson, Animal Collective and The Angels of Light, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Gregg Turkington and Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 18 connections around Tiny Tim, reaching back through Rudy Vallée and forward to Gregg Turkington.
