General Note/Comment

• Two audio cassette tapes. Known as Ramblin' Jack, Elliot was a major cultural force in the 1960s folk scene, directly influencing the music of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Born in New York City, he ran away at fifteen to become a cowboy. By the mid-1950s, he was traveling with singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie and had recorded several songs. Popular in Europe, he soon became a fixture on the American folk scene as well. He recorded several albums during the 1990s.
