John Hartford (December 30, 1937–June 4, 2001) was a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his contributions to the musical style of Newgrass. Born in New York City and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Hartford's career and music were heavily influenced by his experiences on the Mississippi River. He began working on the river at age 16 and continued to be inspired by it throughout his life.

In addition to playing the banjo, fiddle, and guitar, Hartford was a talented singer-songwriter. He changed his last name to 'Hartford' later in life at the suggestion of Chet Atkins. Throughout his career, he released numerous albums and collaborated with other notable artists in the bluegrass genre.

Despite facing health challenges from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma starting in the 1980s, John Hartford continued to create music until his passing on June 4, 2001 at age 63. His legacy lives on through his innovative musical style and influential contributions to the genre.

The two albums multi-instrumentalist/songwriter John Hartford cut for Warner Bros In the early '70s, Aereo-Plain and Morning Bugle, shook the bluegrass genre to the core, adding a modern, irreverent sensibility and fresh repertoire to the tradition- bound style. We have already (twice) reissued Aereo-Plain on LP, but we waited on Morning Bugle because we had something special up our sleeve, namely, the original session tapes! Which means that not only are you getting (with the full consent of the Hartford estate) a new remix and remaster of the original album, which even Hartford devotees admit never sounded that good on the production side of things, but an entire disc of unreleased tracks! Hartford scholar Skip Heller supplies liner notes to this monumental fnd on the enclosed insert.
