An Evening with Folk Legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott
November 4, 2011
Add Review/Comment
Folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott, last musical partner of Woody Guthrie, mentor and model for young Bob Dylan, and sonic grandfather of just about every scruffy-voiced folksinger in the Western world, is now 80. Well past 50 years in a performing career, he has a recent Grammy-winning CD, A Stranger Here, that marks a whole new turn in his repertoire--toward the hard, "deep" blues of the (first) Depression era.
The country-blues songbook as written by Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, and Charley Patton seems like natural, if previously unexplored, territory for this folk legend. The results are soulful, moody, and entrancing. This is not so much a reinvention as another way to look deep into the heart of Elliott's music. What an amazing ramblin' night this will be.
