The Bullies Have All Gone to Rest is a bluegrass and old-time music album by John Hartford and Jim Wood, released in 1998.

Reception

Writing for AllMusic, critic Brian Bailey wrote "This modest album is one of several tributes to older musical traditions that Hartford recorded late in his career. Solid if not the best, it remains worth searching out for the opportunity to hear the legend playing his banjo again."
