content: Program notes ([4] p. : port.) inserted in container. Performer(s): Jack Elliott, vocals, guitar ; with assisting performers. Ramblin' Jack's interest in cowboys began early; he ran away from his home in Brooklyn, New York (where he was born in 1931) at age 14 to join a rodeo. Over the years he has maintained a strong interest in cowboy song. But he was also inspired by Woody Guthrie - so much so that he lived with the Guthrie family for a time, mastering Woody's vocal and guitar style so completely, that Woody once exclaimed (allegedly) that "Jack sounds more like me than I do!" Jimmie Rodgers, from Meridian Mississippi, became one of the very first country music icons, but only after his worsening tuberculosis made it too difficult for him to continue as a railroad worker. This recording, issued as a CD in 1994, combines two LP recordings issued more than 30 years earlier - one of Woody Guthrie and Jimmie Rodgers songs and the other of cowboy songs. During his lengthy, still on-going (in 2012) career, Ramblin' Jack was nominated for four Grammy's, winning one in 1995.
