Jamie Hartford is an American singer, musician, and songwriter.
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. 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. During the mid-90s, Hartford was signed by Asylum Records and recorded an album with producer Pete Anderson. This album was never released. 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. 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).
The Jamie Hartford Band includes Ray Flacke (guitar), Rick Lonow (drums), Paco Ship (harmonica), and Charlie Chadwick (bass). The late singer-songwriter Guy Clark, who built 19th-century-style flamenco guitars, made a gift of one to Hartford.
