Timi Yuro (Something Bad On My Mind) LP 1968

 

The 12 track album offers a good introduction to the art and style of Timi Yuro. The musical fare largely comprises big, dramatic ballads, not a million miles away from the material that Dusty Springfield worked on at the same time, though maybe Timi's supercharged delivery lacks some of the subtlety and finesse of Dusty's delivery. Amongst the best tracks are versions of 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' (a UK hit for Tom Jones), and Goffin and King's 'Hey Girl' (re-titled here, 'Hey Boy'). The track that has lasted the longest though is the busy mid-tempo shuffle 'It'll Never be Over For Me' which became massive on the Northern soul scene. Rightly so; it shows that proper Northern soul had plenty of soul and for this song alone, Timi Yuro deserves her place in the blue-eyed soul pantheon.

The 'Something Bad On My Mind' album was a commercial failure and in 1968 Ms Yuro quit music to raise her family. In the 1980s she made a comeback of sorts in the Netherlands and later she worked with a long time supporter, Willie Nelson. However, fresh success remained elusive and in 2004 Timi Yuro passed away after a long struggle with cancer.
