Went to see Jack Elliott at the New Roscoe in Leeds last Wednesday. Showing the age a bit, but, dammit, I still love him.
Worth the twelve quid.

Thanks anonymous Guest and Open Mike for the track lists, sounds interesting!
I suppose I first heard Jack round about 1957, but was still horrified to realise that he is 73! As I have said before, God, I'm OLD!!!!!

this fellow...i heard him not too long ago....
is known to ramble on...telling stories and
talking...his name does not necessarily refer
to travel. He was one of the featured performers
when the national radio show Prairie Home Companion
was performed and broadcast at a concert hall near
here recently. As it turns out, there was a rodeo
being held at an adjacent arena that same day .
I believe he has been in rodeos, and has quite a
few broken bones to prove it...well they are not
broken now, they were fixed...http://www.ramblinjack.com/

I have an EP of one of the Festival Hall recordings -Possibly early sixties - Jack Elliott (of Birtley) had broken his ankle and was still in plaster ! Introduced himself as 'Stumbling Jack , NOT Rambling Jack '!!
The Rambling Jack CD's look well worth it !!

I have been told he is here in the UK and a couple of gigs lined up.
If you get chance go and see him, while you still can.
One of the all time greats!

Oops, new keyboard!
Seems there is a Jack Elliott record out on Hightone? 'Lost Topic Tapes'.
I didn't think that Topic ever lost anything, but it appears to be a live session in the Isle of Wight in the '50s.
Anyone seen it?
