A jack of all trades for most of his career, John Inghram has played bass for the likes of Chuck Prophet, Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Kris Myers (Umphrey’s McGee) and Catherine Russell (Steely Dan, Bowie). He also served as an assistant producer for NPR’s Mountain Stage radio show.
On May 13, 2022, he finally steps into the spotlight with his self-titled debut album. When we heard that he and Tim O’Brien were covering John Hartford’s “Back in the Goodle Days” for the project, we knew we had to share it with you.
“It’s always been one of my favorite John Hartford songs,” says Inghram of the aero level Track. “I wanted to create an arrangement with a rhythm section, Hammond organ, electric guitars, etc. I wanted to evoke a mood reminiscent of the band. I am honored to present the legendary Tim O’Brien on mandolin and vocals.”
