'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.

Saw John Hartford perform a few times during the 70s -always an intense, serious, engaging artist. So glad to see him honored by such a talent as Sam Bush.

John Hartford had a great influence in my attitude toward life in my 20's. This song brings back that feeling, which is hard to describe to anyone. It is an instant classic in my book!

I heard this song on the radio, and after it was done I rushed over and googled "Radio John". Great song! I am a longtime John Hartford fan, and now I have someone else to add to the list of musicians I'm a fan of.
