In the World of Him

Timms is best known for her involvement with the Mekons and has released several solo CDs over the years. The songs on this record were written by Ryan Adams, Mark Eitzel, Kevin Coyne, Johnny Dowd, Mekons, Jon Langford, and Sean Garrison. They cover war, marriage, abandonment, and the inability to articulate, and they range from the apologetic to the analytical. 'Ms. Timms blends rapture and disenchantment in a way that recalls those old cliches about why caged birds sing. Her voice, a secretive murmur refined by her native English accent, is the stuff of lullabies'--The NY Times.
