I used to rent this same cd from the library . I found this copy at a good price on ebay and couldn`t pass it up . It`s probably my most favorite cd I own . Some albums/ cd`s you usually like some of the music and some may be just ok but on this cd I like every single song on there. Mostly deal with riverboats and that lifestyle with a lot of banjo playing . Love it.

I love this version of a great hits collection of John Hartford's music. It is warm wonderful review of music made by John and friends 1976-1987. You can hear the love of the steamboats that he loved so dearly. and life on the river. John was a licensed River boat pilot. Yes it has the most popular "Gentle On My Mind" and In Tall Buildings and so may others that I just love. It is must have if you are a John Hartford fan.. Get it while you can Steam Powered Aereoplane is out of print again. You better get this while you still can..
This John Hartford cd is well worth listening to. It is the John Hartford that everyone knows...from the steamboat days. I bought this cd for my husband who had the chance of a lifetime to meet John Hartford and is a huge fan. According to him, this is one of John's BEST cd's and he was very glad to receive it and add it to his otherwise massive cd collection.
Folk music is about a way of life and John Hartford writes what he lives. Besides, he wrote "Gentle on My Mind" with some great lyrics there. I'll be buying more.
