Liner Notes

"John Hartford is one of the most protean, creative, and uncategorizable figures on the American music scene, and has been for well over 30 years. From the start, John has represented something much deeper and wider in our culture, and the more time has passed, the more remarkable and significant a figure he appears to be. This latest recording brings Hartford back to his roots, presenting him at his most relaxed, playing with musicians with whom he feels comfortable, in a program consisting only of original songs. Hartford and the guys in the band have a lot of fun here, and that, after all, is what Good Old Boys are supposed to do. You will, too." --Tom Piazza, from his liner notes
