''If I Were a Carpenter'' is an album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in 1966. It was a significant change in direction for Darin considering his previous album (''In a Broadway Bag'') was a collection of show tunes. ==History== Having previously built his career recording mainstream pop music, Darin's musical output became more "folky" as the 1960s progressed. In 1966, he charted with folksinger Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter". It was Darin's return to the Top 10 after a four-year absence (the single peaked at No. 8 in the US and No. 9 in the UK in 1966). The tracks leaned heavily towards songs by Hardin and John Sebastian — seven of the songs were written by these two songwriters and Darin's next album would follow a similar process. The song "Red Balloon" had not yet been released by Hardin. It would appear on his album 1967 album ''Tim Hardin 2''. In his ''Allmusic'' review, Richie Unterberger, stated "Hardin himself was convinced that Darin had copied his vocal style by listening to his yet-to-be-issued version and the album as a whole boasts a production similar to the orchestrated folk-rock heard on the debut (sic) album in question, though it sounds like an inferior copy." Both Darin's ''If I Were a Carpenter'' and Hardin's ''Tim Hardin 2'' were produced by Charles Koppelman and Don Rubin and Koppelman had originally signed Sebastian's band, The Lovin' Spoonful.〔(Cigar aficionado interview. Autumn 1993. ) Accessed November 2008.〕 The album reached number 142 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Darin's cover of "Lovin' You" reached the Top 40. ''If I Were a Carpenter'' was reissued in 1998 on the Diablo label combined with Darin's next release, ''Inside Out''.〔(Allmusic entry for reissue of If I Were a Carpenter and Inside Out. )〕
