With over 40 albums under his belt, Grammy Award-winner Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is considered one of the country’s legendary foundations of folk music. From Johnny Cash to Tom Waits, Beck to Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams to Bruce Springsteen, they all pay homage to Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. There are no degrees of separation between Jack and the real thing. He is the guy who ran away from his Brooklyn home at fourteen to join the rodeo and learned his guitar from a cowboy. In 1950, he met Woody Guthrie, moved in with the Guthrie family and traveled with Woody to California and Florida, from the redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters. In 1955 Jack traveled to Europe, bringing his genuine American folk, cowboy and blues repertoire, inspiring a new generation of budding British rockers, from Mick Jagger to Eric Clapton. When he returned to America in 1961, he met another young folksinger, Bob Dylan, at Woody Guthrie’s bedside, and mentored the young Bob. Jack has continued as an inspiration for every roots-inspired performer since. At eighty-three, Ramblin’ Jack is still on the road, bringing his songs and stories to each new generation. We are honored to present the legendary RAMBLIN’ JACK ELLIOTT!
