Ramblin' Jack Elliott sings South Coast on 5/4/07

His CD, Friends of Mine, is just great, duets with others, like Townes, Jerry Jeff, Emylou, etc., his song, Me And Billy The Kid is the best I've ever heard, ever, not to be forgotten.

The man introduced Bob Dylan to Woody Guthrie, just before Woody died, the man is a legend in his own time.

Glad you posted this - I was at this screening/performance. Was wearing a Peterbilt (big rig trucks) hat from a TV show I was shooting at the time. Jack peered out around the line of folks wanting to shake his hand. Peered around again. Finally he said: "You drive a Pete?" "No sir. But I do shoot a TV show where they work on Petes an awful lot." "I used to drive 'em all. Petes, Kens. Wasn't research, I needed the work."

We talked more about trucks and guitars and I was deeply satisfied.

ramblin jack is a scary drunk. I've met him and I know he'll never read this comment, so there....... Oh, but he does not drink 'Wild Turkey' anymore, only 'Jim Beam'.

he is using a capo on the second fret..
the chords shapes are em,am,em,c,b7,em,c,b7,em..basi cally
he seems to add little ramblin licks here and there..but this should help

One of Jack's best. Like all his covers, he makes it his own.

Ramblin Jack is a true American treasure. Great storyteller.

He does a tune called cup of coffee, and it has something to do with sleeping on someones couch, but keeping one foot on the floor, cause thats his clutch foot. "If I put that on the couch Ill never get up". Ahhhh.

I am jealous. Been a fan since '59 or '60.
