  • John Cowan Hartford was an American folk, country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. 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. He also invented his own shuffle tap dance move, and clogged on an amplified piece of plywood while he played and sang.
  • John Hartford war ein US-amerikanischer Country-Sänger und Songwriter (das t im Namen wurde 1966 durch Chet Atkins, Vizechef des RCA-Labels, eingefügt).
  • Hartford ha saputo condurre gli stilemi e i linguaggi fondativi della musica americana verso fini a lui propri, pur avendoli nel sangue. Lungo la sua carriera, egli ha continuato a rielaborarli per allargarne la portata e dimostrare l'enorme potenziale espressivo della musica popolare. Pur essendo un compositore estremamente variegato nell'approccio stilistico, non c'è dubbio che il marchio distintivo di Hartford si possa ritrovare in questa capacità di rendere presente - non solo musicalmente ma anche "culturalmente" - ciò che sembra passato. Per quanto Hartford sia considerato co-fondatore di quel movimento di rinnovamento del bluegrass chiamato newgrass, egli è sempre rimasto attaccato con altrettanta forza alla musica tradizionale. L'ultimo gruppo con cui suonò e gli ultimi album testimoniano il suo amore per la old time music e le altre forme di musica tradizionale pre-bluegrass. La dicotomia è una delle caratteristiche più attrattive di Hartford, il quale, proprio nel momento in cui sembra dare corso all'espansione massima dei confini della musica tradizionale, rimane profondamente connesso alla radici del folk americano.
  • Джон Хартфорд — — американский певец народной музыки и кантри, один из известнейших представителей жанра блюграсс. Музыкант стал широко известен после успеха сочинённой им в 1967 году баллады «Gentle On My Mind», приобретшей статус американского «поп-стандарта». Джон Хартфорд сотрудничал со множеством музыкальных ансамблей, и является одним из самых известных сольных исполнителей, владевшим игрой сразу на нескольких музыкальных инструментах: на гитаре, банджо, скрипке и мандолине. В общей сложности, запись песни «Gentle On My Mind» сделало более чем 300 различных исполнителей. Наиболее известными из них являются записи таких исполнителей, как Элвис Пресли, Арета Франклин, Фрэнк Синатра, Хэнк Сноу, Вэйлон Дженнингс, Тэмми Винет, Дин Мартин и Патти Пейдж.
