I bought this album some 30 years ago, loved it then and still loving it now, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, who is still performing and Derroll Adams, who passed away in 2000....
From a Wikipedia page:
According to legend, Adams and Elliott would go in the studio with whatever they had, which may have included whiskey and marijuana, and they recorded whatever they felt like recording on the spur of the moment. This style of recording was probably more prevalent in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s—the result is that the recording is loose around the edges but preserves some of the spontaneity and vigor of a live performance. It is a performative, rather than a compositional, style.
Some of the songs on this album...well... I've been belting them out when I'm in the shower for years :)
Would love to find more albums from both these guys!!!
Oh, and this is an Italian pressing....
GET IT HERE
Enjoy!
