"Tribute to Hank Williams" was quite moving - and in view of Hardin's later death from heroin overdose, rather prophetic. It was odd to encounter "If I Were a Carpenter" as I previously only knew it from the Four Tops version! And Darin should definitely have left it alone.
I also enjoyed the "Live in Concert" LP, Monty. On the Bobby Darin theme, I've just read about the huge irony of Hardin's only chart hit (no. 50 on Billboard 100) having been written by...Bobby Darin!
