From the Woody Guthrie Centennial event, AP 14, 2012:

Jack took the few steps down to 116 MacDougal Street last evening. He remembered the stairs. Was looking for a cup of coffee.

Presuming you were at the Highline Ballroom, last night, how was his show?


BTW, anyone, of the four videos posted above, #3 is the more musically entertaining, IMO. Elliott pulls off a fine version of "Pretty Boy Floyd."

non, malheursement I didn't get to see/hear Jack. In the late afternoon Jack went looking for a cup of coffee, and headed down the steps at 116 Macdougal Street, former site of the Gaslight Cafe.

.
This song was among Elliott's earliest recordings. It appeared on a 4-song EP record. It was recorded at the home of John R. T. Davies, in 1956.

"Alabama Bound"

"For many, [Davies] was considered 'the world's leading specialist in the art of sound restoration ... .'"

From the Whispering Beard Folk Festival in Friendship, IN; AU 26 12:

"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right,"




"The Cuckoo"

.
This is one of the most unusual versions of "Home On The Range" that anyone is likely to hear. Ramblin' Jack kicks off with a bit of guitar and some yodelling, and then is not heard from again as the song segues into David Amram's jazzy ensemble. Mid-song, Odetta kicks in with the vocal.

From a 1978 Amram album:

Several Amram CDs are available from the usual sources.
