	John Hartford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics and unique vocal style.
		Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.
		Hartford was also the author of Steamboat in a Cornfield, a children's book that recounts the true story of the Ohio River Steamboat The Virginia and its somewhat comical beaching in a cornfield.

		John was on the advisory board of the Old-Time Herald and was one of the original supporters back in 1987 when we were first getting started.

		John was a wonderful man, and critics didn’t always understand him because he was always doing something that they weren’t used to.

	Plundering the Vault (12 June 2002) - PopMatters Music Column
		Hartford's vocals are never high and lonesome, but lazy and slurred, and worst still, his lyrics are sprinkled with curse words and references to marijuana.
		Hartford's six vocals on the album take the listener back to his early '70s work, and when he yodels -- yes yodels -- on "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", it seems as though not much has changed over the past 27 years.
		John Hartford made a number of entertaining albums, explored old-time fiddle music, and was liked, loved, and esteemed by everyone.

	Country Standard Time: CD Review John Hartford
		Hartford, probably best known as the author of Glen Campbell's "Gentle on my Mind," shunned benchmark high-harmonies and the often dreary, stiff lyrics of the day and created tunes like "Emanuel Cant" and "Dig a Hole." Yet, Aereoplane offered up several dandy instrumentals and traditional numbers during their short time together.
		A pioneering musician who employed a broad palette of American music to fuel his idiosyncratic observations, the late John Hartford created a genre, a style all his own: a sort of modern old-tyme, pre-war, post-punk mlange that is was as influential as it was refreshing.
		The breezy locomotion of that tune is echoed faintly in the title track to this collection of all new originals, and Hartford is so obviously at ease with the material and his fellow players that it takes a lot less than the song's 6 1/2 minutes for the listener to be drawn in.

		The late John Hartford could best be described as a songwriter's songwriter.
		John was able to combine his love of riverboats with his instrumental talents and tongue-in-cheek humor to create a unique musical identity that served him well.
		After "Gentle On My Mind", John was known more for his quirkier humor, which might cause some listeners to be surprised to find out he was the writer of "No End Of Love", from WILLIAMS and CLARK EXPEDITION'S Born To Roam CD.

		Every tune is effective and stirring in Hartford's hands -- he has a way of sitting back and letting the melody pass by him, then sort of calling out and saying "hey" with the lyrics, it's such a minutely flawed delivery that you believe in the humanity of the singer every single time...
		John Hartford's recent death was a great loss to American music.
		But after hearing John's version a few times, you begin to realize that the quieter pain expressed in his take of the song is no less valid than Janis's cosmic heartbreak.

		This album is a joint effort between bluegrass champion John Hartford and his son Jamie.
		This album has a more distinctly modern country feel than some of John's other records, but it doesn't detract from making this a genuine Hartford record.
		It is a shame that Jamie Hartford tried to branch out into a less than succesfull rock music career, as the playing he does with his father in this genre is superb and delightful to listen to.
