Career

Jamie, the son of John Hartford, was raised in a musical environment, meeting and learning from artists such as Johnny Cash, the Everly Brothers, Cowboy Jack Clement, and John Prine.[1] In his early career, Hartford occasionally filled in for Albert Lee at Everly Brothers performances. He also performed with the re-formed Amazing Rhythm Aces.[2] During the mid-90s, Hartford was signed by Asylum Records and recorded an album with producer Pete Anderson. This album was never released.[3] Paladin Records released Hartford's album What About Yes in 1997. He was assisted by Pat McLaughlin (guitar), Jeff "Stick" Davis (bass), and Jim Lauderdale.[3][4] Hartford paid homage to his father by recording an album with him (Hartford & Hartford) and recorded an album of his father's songs (Part of Your History: The Songs of John Hartford).[5]

The Jamie Hartford Band includes Ray Flacke (guitar), Rick Lonow (drums), Paco Ship (harmonica), and Charlie Chadwick (bass).[6] The late singer-songwriter Guy Clark, who built 19th-century-style flamenco guitars, made a gift of one to Hartford.[7]
