"... produced by accomplished Nashville-based fiddler Matt Combs and John's daughter Katie Harford ... The project is the followup to the book, John Hartford's Mammoth Collections of Fiddle Tunes ... The album was recorded in part at the legendary Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa in Nashville, home of the late Jack Clement, where Hartford recorded his 1984 album, Gum Tree Canoe. Matt and Katie have enlisted a stellar lineup to pay tribute to John's previously unreleased fiddle tunes and songs from the book".

"When John Hartford died in 2001, we lost a musical voice and first-rate humorist whose songwriting carried us down the Mississippi on riverboats and whose musical genius is with us still, in his songs and in the modern-day musicians he's inspired ... It's our good fortune that he left behind a treasure trove of over 2,000 hand-written fiddle tune charts".
