Customer Reviews
Delightful
John Hartford is his usual whimsical self, a grin is mandatory when listening to his vocals on "Hound Dog," "Rocky Top," and "Dock of the Bay." After the initial delight with the surface inventiveness, one begins to hear the deeper layers of genius from the harmonies of Mike Seeger and David Grisman and the wonderful musical grace notes from all three. Even the liner notes are great. I'm so glad these three got together.
Retrograss Captures The Past
My father listened to "Retrograss" and commented that the music sounds like the songs he heard on his father's first radio back in the 1920's. It's impressive that Grisman, Hartford, and Seeger manage to transform a work like Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" into something that echos a world 75 years ago. This is a most remarkable CD that simple grows on you everytime you hear it.
The Grass is Gold
A wonderful collection....a little strange at first listening, perhaps, but entertaining. Then it grows on you, and you begin to feel the genius behind it. It's a quirky concept, but flawlessly executed with lots of humor and warmth. A wonderful addition to any collection.
