	Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ramblin' Jack Elliot (born Elliott Charles Adnopoz, August 1, 1931) is an American folk performer.
		Elliott's musical style heavily influenced Bob Dylan to the point where Dylan's first gig in New York City was billed as "Son of Jack Elliott." While Dylan rose to prominence through his compositions, Elliott continued as an interpretive troubaour, bringing old songs to new audiences in an idiosyncratic manner.
		Jack Elliott's style is distinctive in its use of excellent guitar technique matched with laconic, humorous storytelling and an emotional intensity in the singing.

		Ramblin' Jack has long been considered the finest living interpreter of the songs, the Okie drawl, and the front-porch charisma of 20th-century folk icon Woody Guthrie.
		Ramblin' Jack has spent most of his career avoiding a career in the recording industry.
		Elliott busked his way across the rural South and West and later Europe, scavenging more folk blues and ballads and recording for the Topic, Prestige, and Vanguard labels.

	Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Best of the Vanguard Years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Elliott Charles Adnopoz, was in the thick of the '50s and '60s folk revival in England and the U.S. A disciple of Woody Guthrie, Elliott spent 1955 to 1961 in England and Europe, busking around and singing folk songs.
		Elliott had recorded a couple of albums in England and was eager to sign with an American label.
		One of Ramblin' Jack's most frustrating and most endearing traits has always been his willingness to just be who he is, in public, warts and all.

	Ramblin' Jack Elliott, The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack, Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Ramblin' Jack Elliott is a living treasure, a walking and talking (and talking and talking) encyclopedia of American folk music.
		Elliott turns in a tour-de-force live 1980 performance of his humorous talking blues "Cup of Coffee," originally recorded with Cash in 1965.
		Elliott has probably sung "Hard Travelin'" as many times as he's picked up a guitar, and the version here -- done on the spur of the moment during a 1998 radio interview -- has some of the immediacy of the song as Woody might have played it in some migrant labor camp 60-some years ago.

	ramblin' round
		As Jack recalls, "I was born on a 45,000 acre ranch in the middle of Flatbush." Most of us refer to this particular ranch as Brooklyn, New York.
		Jack was on stage having some trouble tuning his guitar and the audience was utterly hushed, a very rare occurrence in that room.
		Jack was recorded in slam bam electric rockabilly bands, overdubbed with Indian tabla, and his rambling spoken tales were tape spliced into submission.

	Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features
		Elliott, a legend among legends in folk music, has seen it all in his 50-plus years in the music business and nearly equal amount of time rambling over the nation's highways.
		Elliott's been playing music since the 1940s and is a vital link between Woody Guthrie and his dominant influence, and the folk artists of the '60s and after.
		He was born Elliott Charles Adnopoz in Brooklyn, but Ramblin' Jack Elliott got a name that fit his lifestyle after running away from home at 14 to join a rodeo, then touring with Guthrie for years.

	VH1.com : Ramblin' Jack Elliott : Biography
		Despite the countless miles that Elliott has traveled, his nickname is derived from his unique verbiage: an innocent question often led to a mosaic of stories before he got to the answer.
		Elliott's recording debut came in the mid-1950s when he recorded three songs for a multi-artist compilation, Bad Men, Heroes and Pirates, released by Elektra.
		Elliott was so influenced by Guthrie (whom he had met during a Greenwich Village picking session in 1950) that he began his musical career by mimicking the legendary folk singer.

	Tom Waits talkin' Ramblin' Jack Elliott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When Tom Waits joined Ramblin' Jack Elliot for a recording session in Cotati this summer, he couldn't help smiling as Elliot got up, walked across the floor of the studio and went on one of his gandy-dancing monologues, moving in and out of words with a jostling, sallied ease.
		Waits has been itching to record with Elliott ever since he first heard his music getting good play, in the days when he was working as a doorman at the Heritage Club in San Diego's Mission Beach.
		Jack's record was on the turntable all the time the one where he's on the cover with his horse and he's roping something.

	Jelly review: Ramblin' Jack Elliott
		Anybody fortunate enough to have caught Ramblin’ Jack Elliott on the recent Monsters of Folk tour knows what a national treasure he is, and why so many of his friends have gathered for this duet album.
		It also makes sense to have Elliott singing a cowboy song, since he is as much cowboy as he is singing troubadour.
		Elliott’s voice is a ragged and worn thing, but it’s an instrument that expresses the thoughts and feelings of a man who has seen a lot of life: from the simple country lifestyle of his home on the range, to his first hand account of the American folk music movement’s evolution.

		Elliott is aided and abetted by a cohort of cronies such as Dave Alvin, Tom Russell, Dave Van Ronk, Maria Muldaur, Roy Rodgers and Norton Buffalo.
		Ramblin' Jack Elliott has the credentials to make anyone interested in American music sit and listen to him, even if he didn't sing a word.
		Jack's singing serves to connect the listener to his music in a way that many "performers" are unable to achieve.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts reviews \| Ramblin' Jack Elliott, New Roscoe, Leeds
		Over four decades later and old Jack is still rambling on, still singing the same songs, and still earning plaudits - his appearance in Leeds came two days after he won a Lifetime Achievers award in the Radio 2 folk music awards.
		Nevertheless, the years have taken their toll; tonight there is a sign asking customers not to smoke as Jack is suffering from emphysema.
		Elliott's once keening voice now sounds like an elderly Neil Young on old Guthrie nuggets such as Pastures of Plenty, and his staccato strumming and rattling bass-string runs still crackle elementally.

		The documentary itself is a shining example of Ken Burns 101: Careful, competent editing of an amalgam of archival footage and rambling interviews with scatterbrained old famous people, tied together by narration about how the whole thing is deeply personal and important to the filmmaker.

		As is only to be expected from a 73-year-old legend, the evening turned out to be more of "an audience with" than a concert per se.
		Nonetheless, the point of hearing Elliott sing classic American ballads, blues and cowboy songs was not primarily musical, in any narrowly-defined sense, but more to do with association, memory and tribute.
		In keeping with which, the night’s biggest pleasure came from the unhurried yarns he contentedly and mischievously spun between songs, including many a personal memory of the times he spent as Guthrie’s protégé and road companion.
