Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Ramblin' Jack Elliott is an American folk singer and guitarist known for his interpretations of traditional American folk, cowboy ballads, and country blues. Rooted in the Woody Guthrie tradition, he pairs fingerpicked guitar and occasional harmonica with a conversational, narrative vocal style and a rambling, storytelling stage persona. Active in the mid 20th century folk revival, he is recognized for carrying forward older rural song traditions and for influencing younger folk musicians, including Bob Dylan.
