Product Details

Sam Bush came up playing alongside John Hartford at a pivotal moment in American roots music, making this tribute something far more personal than a typical covers project. Hartford's influence on the newgrass movement Bush helped define is immeasurable, and hearing Bush inhabit these songs connects two generations of acoustic innovation in a way only a true disciple could.

Radio John: Songs of John Hartford is Sam Bush's heartfelt tribute to his hero and mentor, John Hartford. With dedication, admiration, and love, Bush takes on personal favorites from Hartford's vast catalog, including songs he played with Hartford on stage and in the studio in the 1970s. Bush plays every instrument on nearly every cut, pouring himself into the performances. Radio John is a testament to the impact Hartford had on American traditional music as a songwriter, an instrumentalist, and, most importantly, someone who fostered the careers of musicians like Bush and countless others reinventing roots music in the last half of the 20th century.
