"Looks at Life" is singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist John Hartford's debut album. It pretty much set the pattern for all of his RCA albums over the next four years. a combination of dry wit and superb musicianship, delivered with a warm conversational baritone. This, along with all six of his first albums were repackaged in three "twofer" CDs on BMG's Camden Deluxe label in 2002, immediately following his death.
