The Hardtimes were from San Diego and were regulars on Dick Clark's 'Where The Action Is' with The Robbs & Paul Revere & The Raiders. For this fact this unknown group had more exposure than most stars! Led by two gifted songwriters, Rudy Romero and Bill Richardson, but the band unfortunately never seemed to establish its own identity, drifting between folk-rock, sunshine pop, and a light psychedelia during its short history, breaking up almost immediately after releasing one album, 1967's Blew Mind. This song was written by Rudy Romero. The group included Larry Byrom (Steppenwolf), & Paul Wheatbread ( Gary Puckett And The Union Gap).
