Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Anthem of America (Tribute)

[VNTPLA]

I saw him about twelve years ago in Italy. Can you imagine he sitting in a little folk Club lost in Torino, north Italy fog, sitting with his old guitar (yes the one with the cowboy on it), with a little bottle of whiskey in front of him singing "Red River Valley" and, under my request "Me and Bobby Mc Gee" ? I like him since I heard his version of "Diamond Joe" on a old "Newport Festivval" record.Great artist, and a beautiful song, indeed. Thanks to be. Paul

[PressAnyKey2Start]

Beautifully constructed video - awesome mix of music and pictures. I Love It.

[samsback4it]

Jan,,, You are Great!!!

[TheFolksinger]

I meant "good." I know he is not God. (Close to it, though.)

[bulbheadmyass]

@TheFolksinger I figured that, but I'll bet Sigmund Freud is laughing from the grave. :o)

[TheFolksinger]

God music and singing. The value of the photo montage is considerable. I remember hearing him preface a song by saying, "I sang this song in..... and they gave me enough money to get out of there." A folksinger's life is in them thar words.

[bulbheadmyass]

@TheFolksinger Thanks, Bill. That's such an endearing Jack story, if a folksinger's life is in thar words, I gotta say that Jack rambled more than most. :o)

[Dominic1988Music]

Wow... slick performance... clear voice quality, you can tell this was recorded more professionally than my vids :-) Good singing too!!

[Deerbridge]

I first came in touch with Ramblin' Jack and his music back in 1976? when he participated on the 2 "Folkfriends"-Records recorded in Hannes Wader's old windmill in Germany, together with Wizz Jones, Werner Lämmerhirt, Alex Campell and lots of other guys. Loved him since and his records still run on my turntable...

Thanks for this song !!

Martin

[bulbheadmyass]

Thanks, Martin. Jack is still on my virtual turntable too.

[SW94929]

i've known Jack for years. used to open for him at Sweetwater. he appears in a couple of my vids. thanks for posting!

[bulbheadmyass]

Thanks, Stan. Sounds like a great gig. I just checked out some of your vids and I totally love your music.

[jimmydcap]

I heard about Jack from Arlo Guthrie. He talked about hm on his live from Sidney CD

[selenio999]

great

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely song and interesting video

[losthills]

Super cool tribute to the greatest cowboy that ever lived!

Muchas Gracias Jan and Company!

[57silverhawk]

Great song, and great video!

[HClagwell]

Really well done. I used to go see him at the Riverboat coffee house in Toronto. I've only ever managed to collect 8 of his albums. I knew there were more but I didn't know there were that many.

[CamusKitten]

I love this! Is it alright if I post this on my facebook page?

[bulbheadmyass]

Thanks so much, CamusKitten. Yes, that would be great to post it on your facebook page. Would you send me a link once it is up?

(from another Jack!)

[beardedyodeler]

Rambling jack is pretty good. He's probably still traveling round the country in his school bus.

He traveled around with my hero Woody Guthrie

[bulbheadmyass]

Thanks, Scott. Ramblin' Jack did much to keep Woody's music and influence alive.

[northe69]

Great song. Those lyrics and melody are the best. Knee slapping and toe tapping song. I can hear the blue notes playing so well in the music. Great improv during the bridge section. Love this kind of music, with a rag time saloon piano. Great pictures in the video......Bill

[strawbfan]

nice

[selvojr]

Thanks for sharing*****

[guyglowmore1]

jack was real good. heard him play at a small club in Venice, Ca. in the sixties. He often played what some call "Travis Pickin'". out fluenced many pickers and storytellers

[jsmallwood2007]

if influenced means he got people to copy or made an affect on them... by out fluenced do you mean he turned them to playing or listening to death metal or something lol

[FrankfortFlash]

...beautiful country music, I could listen to it for hours!!!

[LonesomeArthurJames]

Thanks for sharing this! Jack has a way of reaching out and touching your heart.

[catminima]

And thanks adelfred for the video (I just now noticed you did it)! Great job!

[adelfred]

Vielen dank

[catminima]

Thank you so much bulbheadmyass for the message!

I really love this music... and the brillant video! By the way - how did you know i love folk music - especially songs from woody, pete seeger, tom paxton and all these great musicians?

[Texasjim2007]

To be honest, I only vaguely recall hearing of

Ramblin' Jack Elliot's name and can't really

bring to mind any song of his. I'm not real

familiar with Jan Lewis either. Nice voice.

Friends of Woody, Gene, and Willie I take it?

[adelfred]

Well, Ramblin Jack Elliot is what I call a musicians musician. An inspiration for among others Kris Kristofferson (The Pilgrim) and Mick Jagger, who bought his first guitar, because he had heard Ramblin Jack etc...

[bulbheadmyass]

I also consider Ramblin' Jack to be one of the three pillars of 20th century folk music - Woody, Jack, and Bob Dylan, with Ramblin' Jack being the bridge between Woody and Bob.

[MattHatter]

I agree Jan!

[57silverhawk]

Great tribute to an American treasure!

[cheerydavie]

Thank you for posting Nce work,

[reddragonready]

I wonder why this was send to me and why you guys would think I would like this? I do not see how I have given any indication I like this kind of country music?

Thanks for sharing but not my thing at all!

[bienveillance57]

Very nice song ! I love it !

Thank you for posting !

[pmb003]

nice job

[adelfred]

Glad we posted, despite the You Tube sound bug!!

I love these two songs, goes around singing them all time!!!

[bulbheadmyass]

Yeah, I'm glad we did, too. Fixing it to "trick" utube's new compression algorithm was going to be a major job, and the utube glitch already delayed us a day past his birthday.

I'm glad you find yourself singing them all the time. That's the sign alright.

[bigdjindustriez]

Nce work, sounds good. I checked out some of your other stuff too, also good. keep er up.

[MySerpentine]

God damn what America has become--the last TRUE patriot

[bulbheadmyass]

Amen.

[88Rocker]

Jan.. you are just like a fine wine...you just get better and better with time...I loved this video..EXELLENT! Your NC fan, Danny O'Donnell

[waxwall]

Great song and photos!

[zaaritha]

Great, thanks!

[trampp12]

I still think your sexy though, JAN.

[trampp12]

Well Jan, i cant figure out if its your beautiful voice, honky tonk piano or just gorgeous you but then i realize that you gotta man who plays mean guitar, rides horses and drinks whiskey so i'll back off for my own safety. Just want to say you guys are stars on u tube, love your songs and music.

[trampp12]

Jan, you turn me on.

[bulbheadmyass]

Now I'm blushing, trampp12. But don't stop. :o)
