I measure versions of this song on how much it evokes the sensation of being on a train, and this is a definite A.

John Hartford was a great and talented musician. It took him 15 minutes to write and compose one of his very popular song back in the 70s Gentle on my mind. A little Banjo Picker he called himself out of south east Missouri wrote this song as a Bluegrass piece but it became a popular pop song performed by Glen Campbell. John and Glen performed this song together many times but John never got the credit for it like he deserved. Glen had a show and used Gentle on my mind as the intro music. He also said, without John I would not be here today with this show.

Every word...true. The lyrics of "Gentle on My Mind" stand in their own right without music, as a masterpiece of poetry.

Agree w most of what you said, but really, Glen Campbell always gave John Hartford credit for that song. They backed the Brinks truck up to his front door on that song.

Great performance, in spite of what the KZbin critics say. I first met John when he came to our little Pentecostal church one Sunday night in the mid 60s. He was a dj at the time in Clinton, Illinois at station WHOW. He sang "This Little Light Of Mine" and played the banjo.

When I was in my late 20's and would stay home to watch Austin City Limits come on at 10 pm and see great music like this, before they became "liberal" or whatever and started playing weird noise instead. I would watch the entire show and then go down to the Double Door Lounge on Independence Blvd or Simon Sez on 7th street to party with the locals and get wasted until after closing time. Those were the days !

Apparently that was their true temperament, they only feigned a more jovial demeanor when performing publicly. Also, they deliberately played this song uptempo just to rile viewers on KZbin. They were not only irascible, they were very prescient.

I don't hate ANY of this or the folks who made it. I been swipin' stuff from the Dillards and Hartford since eternity.

They start out way too fast. The music is supposed to recreate the sounds of a steam engine starting from a dead stop as it pulls out of the station pulling the passenger coaches. The wheels are supposed to slide, the steam is supposed to blow, and the bell is supposed to ring. Eventually the Orange Blossom Special is highballin and the pace is fast. None of it sounds right. I heard the explanation from the composer (Leon 'Pappy' Selph) who explained it as he played it with his Blue Ridge Playboys. The Dillards and John Hartford are/were great but not on this weak performance.

VictorianRose7 Whatever floats your boat. I was just pointing out that the composer's story in the music is lost when it is played as seen and heard in the video. I'm a fan of both the Dillards and John Hartford but I think they missed it on this performance as do many others on theirs.

True, but when the song is about a train and is written to imitate the sound of the locomotive the cadence matters.
