ALBUM

On 1999's THE LONG RIDE, Ramblin' Jack Elliott carried on the age-old tradition of storytelling. Serving as the bridge between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Elliott has managed to garner quite a following of famous friends and fans. Although not as celeb-heavy as 1998's FRIENDS OF MINE, THE LONG RIDE finds quiet a few notable guest appearances.

Produced by bluesman Roy Rogers, (who also plays guitar on a number of songs), this collection finds Elliott covering artists including the Rolling Stones (a peppy "Connection") and Tom Waits (the banjo-heavy "Pony"). Elliott exudes camaraderie throughout, whether he's duetting with old crony Dave Van Ronk ("St. James Infirmary"), jawing away with Tom Russell ("Cup of Coffee," "The Sky Above and the Mud Below"), or sharing the spotlight with young buck Dave Alvin ("East Virginia Blues"). Although Elliott lends an easy-going air to Ernest Tubb's "Take Me Back and Try Me One More Time," it is on a solo reading of Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side" where this Jewish cowboy transcends his Brooklyn upbringing to take a place alongside his mentor Guthrie.
