One of the last true links to the great folk traditions of this
country, with over 40 albums under his belt, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is
considered one of the country’s legendary foundations of folk music.
Long before every kid in America wanted to play guitar – before Elvis,
Dylan, the Beatles or Led Zeppelin – Ramblin’ Jack had picked it up and
was passing it along. From Johnny Cash to Tom Waits, Beck to Bonnie
Raitt, Ry Cooder to Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead to The Rolling
Stones, they all pay homage to Ramblin’ Jack Elliott.
In the tradition of roving troubadours Jack has carried the seeds and
pollens of story and song for decades from one place to another, from
one generation to the next. They are timeless songs that outlast the
musical trends of any given day. He wrote one of the first trucking
songs-Cup of Coffee-recorded by Johnny Cash, championed the works of new
singer-songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson and Tim
Hardin; and became a founding member of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder
Revue. He continued the life of the traveling troubadour influencing
Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Tom Russell, The Grateful Dead and
countless others.
Ramblin’ Jack is a two-time GRAMMY winner, National Medal Of Arts
recipient, and in 2016, received a Folk Alliance Lifetime Achievement
Award. Featured in the recent Rolling Thunder Revue film by Martin
Scorcese and also in the early 2019 PBS release of the Woody Guthrie All
Star Tribute Concert Center, Ramblin’ Jack is an icon of American roots
and folk music. A lover of storytelling and veteran troubadour style
musician, on tour he is in his element and known for telling the tales
gathered along his magnificent journey through the roots of Folk, Blues,
Americana and Cowboy music and poetry. His permanently enshrined seat
at Woodie Guthrie Center Theater in Tulsa, OK., sits among other greats,
including Lead Belly, Cisco Houston and Pete Seeger.
“Nobody I know—and I mean nobody—has covered more ground and made
more friends and sung more songs than the fellow you’re about to meet
right now. He’s got a song and a friend for every mile behind him. Say
hello to my good buddy, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott.” -Johnny Cash, The Johnny
Cash Television Show, 1969.
