@LostReflector that cracks me up too, although I think Billy says it genuinely ~ the man is an encyclopedia of music, and does differentiate between and more (his own songs don't often follow the traditional bluegrass song structure exactly but of course do contain elements of it) ~ at last count the setlist catalog was over 500 songs and counting (many are covers of course) ~ he's a walking talking jukebox

I am somewhere in the middle of listening to #johnhartford's studio albums, and man... does he ever have a bad one? Like, the 'worst' so far is the Glittergrass album with the Dillards, which still has this all timer [1]

Do I have to go all the way to the 80's John? (Except, I know Gum Tree Canoe hits for me?)

Anyways, enjoy John's take on the Rolling Stone's "Love in Vain" [2] w/ Sam Bush and Benny Martin.

@mrcompletely @bourgwick I was stoked when I stumbled across this AND Clements-Hartford-Holland in the miscellaneous section of a used record bin last year! I'm intrigued by giant Dave Holland's jaunts into progressive . The only other session I know of is on John Hartford's Morning Bugle, a masterpiece. Holland's lyricism blends so well with those pioneers. He'd be a great fit with David Grisman
