Produced by Hartford-protege’ Matt Combs, and Hartford’s daughter Katie Harford Hogue, this album features music from Hartford’s personal composition journals, interpreted through the lens of some of today’s most beloved acoustic musicians. With everything from driving full-band arrangements to sentimental duets and parlor waltzes, the song treatments will appeal to both traditional and progressive music listeners. Hints of bluegrass, old-time, folk, country, and even classical music styles come through and emphasize the versatility and timelessness of John’s writing.

The cover photo, by photographer Charles Seton, comes from a mid-1970s appearance at the Amazingrace coffeehouse in Evanston, Illinois.
