John Hartford: Mark Twang (Flying Fish)
John Tobler, ZigZag, November 1976
MULTIPLE CAUSE for celebration the return of the amazing John Hartford, and the start of the long overdue British outlet for Flying Fish. Both events have been well worth the wait I believe there's a heap more of the Fish catalogue emerging soon, and Mark Twang, while not altogether a flawless record, is worth a good deal of investigation.
