Gillian Welch: “In Tall Buildings” (Live) (2000)
About a year before John Hartford’s death, a group of artists including Hartford himself gathered to pay tribute to his 30 years of writing and playing music.
From A Tribute to John Hartford Live at Mountain Stage comes this highlight, and in this writer’s opinion Gillian Welch infuses her take on “In Tall Buildings” with a melancholy missing from the writer’s own version.
Hartford is perhaps best known to the uninitiated as the writer of Glen Campbell’s 1968 breakout hit “Gentle On My Mind”.
