John Hartford: 'Aereo-Plain'

Sep 11, 2011, 10:13pm Cahl's Juke Joint: A rock, blues and jazz blog
John Hartford - Ramblin - 13 - Steamboat Whistle Blues
I wore out my vinyl copy of John Hartford's "Aereo-Plain" more years ago than I care to admit and I've been looking for a CD copy to replace it ever since. I still can't find a reasonably priced CD version of the classic 1971 album, but a digital version is finally available. Every time I [...]

The Tallest Man On Earth - Gentle On My Mind (John Hartford cover) - Good Quality
Video: Tallest Man on Earth Covers "Gentle on My Mind" With excellent cover songs such as Paul Simon's "Graceland" in his repertoire, it comes as no surprise to hear the Tallest Man on Earth, aka Kristian Matsson, work John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind" — a chart-topping late '60s tune covered famously by Glen Campbell , Elvis , Aretha Franklin , and others — into his set so comfortably. Matsson first debuted his poignant live take at Coachella last month, and now a decent clip has surfaced from the Tallest [...]

Essential Album: Aereo-Plain by John Hartford

Mar 14, 2011, 7:00am A Fifty Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz
Essential Album: Aereo-Plain by John Hartford It''s been a while since I've done one of these Essential Album posts... almost two years now, in fact. This one found its way back to my ears again this week, however, and I felt the need to share. Originally released in 1971, John Hartford's Aereo-Plain album is now widely recognized as a masterpiece of progressive bluegrass and Americana music that is often mentioned as one of the best the genre has to offer. This is despite the fact that it has been mostly out of print for the greater part of a decade, [...]

Doublespeak: Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation

Feb 28, 2011, 9:16pm Star Maker Machine
Doublespeak: Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation John Hartford: Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation Purchase (vinyl) John Hartford was a multi-instrumentalist, voice over actor, steamboat captain, and folk composer. He is one of the finest song writers in the folk style that I've ever heard. I don't know why he isn't more famous than he is. Now, the mystery is that there is very little information on the vast internet about the featured song and the album that it comes from, Gentle On [...]

John Hartford – John Hartford

Sep 10, 2010, 1:47pm Fusion 45
John Hartford – John Hartford Truth be told, the little blue-haired lady I mentioned a few days ago in my post about Strawbs had one up on me. She may not have known about Strawbs - who, according to White Ray at Echoes In The Wind , were said to be the British version of the Band - but she knew John Hartford and I really didn't. Oh, the shame. The short story on Hartford is that he came from a [...]

Covered in Folk: John Hartford (The John Hartford Stringband, plus Gillian Welch, Sam Bush, & more!) Well-covered in popular culture and over at classic songs collaborative Star Maker Machine , John Hartford never made the splash he could and should have as a performer, in part because Glen Campbell's Grammy-winning cover of Gentle On My Mind sold so well, the cash flow gave Hartford license to chuck it all in and pursue his true passion - as a steamboat captain on his beloved Mississippi River. But the man I once heard referred to as "the clown prince of old-time" kept coming back to the music, [...]

moe.: Captain America

Mar 25, 2010, 11:05am A Fifty Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz
moe.: Captain America I've been thinking a lot about the jam band moe. this week. It actually started last week when I wrote my review of the new Great American Taxi album for Country Standard Time . GAT is fronted by Leftover Salmon's Vince Herman and has deep roots in jam band music. A couple of songs on that album greatly reminded me of moe.'s rock noodlings. Shortly after writing that, I received a copy of Jennie Arnau's new record [...]

Christmastime: On Christmas Eve

Dec 13, 2009, 9:32pm Star Maker Machine
Christmastime: On Christmas Eve John Hartford: On Christmas Eve [ purchase ] Master songsmith John Hartford was notorious for preferring life on the river to anything else, even music. So it's no surprise to find him lonesome and soul-searching on a full moon Christmas Eve, staring into the muddy Mississippi, wondering why he prefers the sound of the steam, the feel of the Pitman arm under his hand, the sight of the spanish moss and a bonfire on the moonlit banks to family.

Sampler Daze: WB/Reprise Loss Leaders, Part 7

Sep 16, 2009, 4:32pm 30 Days Out
Sampler Daze: WB/Reprise Loss Leaders, Part 7 By 1974, radio's hard rock trend was going strong – Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Humble Pie dominated the FM rock airwaves. Appropriately titled for the time, Hard Goods arrived in mailboxes with freshly minted rockers like Montrose, covering Roy Brown's "Good Rocking Tonight" and Foghat, offering its cover of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day." Ted Nugent and his Amboy Dukes show up, and the perfect marriage between glam and hard rock emerges in the then-new KISS (Casablanca Records were distributed by Warner Bros. until about 1976). The Doobie Brothers were still rockin' behind guitarist/vocalist [...]

"A lot of good people have done gone on"

Aug 15, 2009, 6:40pm So Well Remembered
"A lot of good people have done gone on" John Hartford was one of the great unsung heroes of the American roots music revival. His banjo and fiddle chops were top-notch. His songwriting was robust. He made some great records in the late 60s, including "Gentle On My Mind," which later became a hit for Glen Campbell. During that time he was a staple musician on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour , The Johnny Cash Show , and The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour . He also contributed mightily to the countrified sound of the Byrds' watershed Sweetheart of the Rodeo (hear his fiddle on [...]
