There's nobody like John!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Back in the late 70s & early 80s we had a celebration in northern Wisconsin called "The Great Northern Bluegrass Festival", it was held at Mole Lake on an Indian reservation. I can still see John on the stage, he would be tappin' his feet on a box with a microphone near it and playing away while he sang... the crowd would go nutz! I remember once or twice when he would wander through the crowds while playing, those memories are a bit blurry though. ;)
John was there a quite a few times as was I, the festival went on for over 15 years as I recall, I was there at least 10 of those years.
I found this CD a while back and paid a premium for it, but it was worth it just to drift back for a while. If this is your cup of tea then put it on and take a trip back in time.

Great Music Lives On

Review Comments: John Hartford was classic and original. Here he has some of the great musicians of his day. Fans of Vassar Clements will find real gems here. Great music all around. A collectors item.

Thank you, Chatham County Line!

Review Comments: Earlier in the week I bought country/bluegrass band Chatham County Line's first release, and one of their songs is entitled "Song for John Hartford", so I decided to check him out, and I truly can't believe I hadn't heard of him prior to this discovery. This was an amazing album from the start until the very finish! The first songs just blew me away instantly. I had my first beer out in the sun while I listened to this album, and I sat with a huge smile upon my face throughout, partly due to my sheer delight of Hartford's wonderful music, and partly because the sun has finally arrived up here. If you're on this page, checking this album out, then I assume that you're in to this kind of music, so in that case, you should not even hesitate getting your grip on this album!

I'd give it an extra 10 stars, if I could...

Review Comments: This is possibly the greatest hippie bluegrass album ever recorded... When Hartford moved from the RCA label to the more funky, counterculture-identified Warner Brothers in 1971, he really went all out and got wild, wacky and weird. It's just one great song after another -- all of them staples of the freeform FM radio scene of the 1970s, decades before "Americana" was thought of as a musical genre. Great stuff!!

Review Comments: I first heard this Lp when it was released and we were all sitting around being astounded by Norman Blake. After all these years I still think it was one my all time favorites. You'll always be a hero to me John. I hope to see you on that "glory shore" pickin and tokin".
