Thread Name: Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Subject: RE: Ramblin' Jack Elliott
The liner notes on Jack's first LP, written by Shel Silverstein are worth the price of the album even if there is no record in the jacket. Luckily, mine still has the record and it's a wonderful one. The supporting musicians are not credited, (at least not on my copy) but I'm sure I hear John Herald, Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker. There's a nice banjo backup on Sowin' On The Mountain.
I just Googled the album and discovered this:
Ramblin' Jack Elliott's first LP, "Ramblin' Jack Elliott," featured a diverse group of musicians, including Bill Lee on bass, banjo player Erik Darling, John Herald on guitar, and Eric Weissberg on bass. Additionally, John Hammond Jr. and Bob Dylan, under the pseudonym Tedham Porterhouse, contributed harmonica. Ian & Sylvia also appeared on the album.
