Ramblin’ Jack Elliott: ‘Destined to be a traveler’
Manage episode 381349039 series 2906734
The word “legend” gets tossed around a lot. But if anyone is worthy of the designation it would be singer-songwriter and cowboy poet Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Born Elliott Charles Adnopoz in Brooklyn in 1931, Elliott is one of the last authentic living links to the great folk traditions of this country. A close personal friend and student of Woody Guthrie, Eilliott’s praises have been sung by everyone from Tom Waits to Johnny Cash to Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder to Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead to The Rolling Stones. At 92 years of age he is returning to Brooklyn next month to perform at the Brooklyn Folk Festival on Sunday November 12 at St. Ann’s Church.
