Hardin and York then started to record as a duo, releasing a s string of albums, but both men also found time to record solo albums that came out in April 1972. With support from the likes of Elton John bassist Dee Murray and Deep Purple's drummer Ian Paice, Hardin's Home Is Where You Find It saw him explore more mainstream singer-songwriter territory, with some grandiose progressive pop thrown in for good measure.
Hardin released nine solo studio albums and two live albums between 1972 and 2000. He died in 2015 following a heart attack, aged 66.
