What Reviewers Say about Jack Hardy:

 
Jack Hardy's so at home in the role of the Celtic bard that it's hard to believe he's home-grown.
  - Rolling Stone
 
Jack Hardy is one of the most influential figures today in defining the American folk song.
  - The Boston Globe
 
It's stunning to me that more people are not familiar with his work. As is the case with many influential artists, it remains an unfortunate truth that many of Jack's disciples are better known than he is on the club and festival circuit. Despite the significant shadow his songs and work have cast, his independent nature and uncompromising approach have worked against him.
  - Sing Out! Magazine
 
What John Lennon did for rock'n'roll, Patti Smith to new wave, and Wynton Marsalis to jazz—Jack Hardy does for folk. He is at the leading edge.
