Our Take

If Pitchfork Mag were to review the collaboration album between folk legends Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack, it might go something like this:

"Ah, the meeting of two titans, two troubadours, two yarn-spinners extraordinaire. Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack team up on 'The Singer & The Song' and it's like a musical time capsule bursting open, unleashing a whirlwind of Americana charm and heart.

From the first strum of the guitar, Guthrie's iconic voice cuts through the dusty air like a sharp blade, telling tales of hard times and resilience. Ramblin' Jack's gravelly tones weave seamlessly through Guthrie's melodies, adding a layer of grit and authenticity that only comes from a lifetime on the road.

The songs on this album are like old friends, comforting and familiar yet full of surprises. From the rollicking 'This Land Is Your Land' to the mournful 'Dust Bowl Blues', Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack take us on a journey through the heartland of America, painting vivid pictures of a bygone era.

'The Singer & The Song' is a testament to the power of storytelling through music, a timeless ode to the human experience. So grab your guitar, light a campfire, and let Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack serenade you into the night. You won't regret it."

End of Review.

About the artist

Woody Guthrie & Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Title: WOODY GUTHRIE & RAMBLIN JACK: Folk Legends or Folksy Legends? They say that behind every great folk artist is an equally great road companion. And in the case of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin Jack, this sentiment couldn't be more true. These two troubadours have been serenading audiences with their tales of heartache, struggle, and the open road for decades, leaving a lasting impact on the American music scene. Woody Guthrie, the original dust bowl balladeer, is known for his raw, unfiltered storytelling and his ability to capture the true essence of the working class. With classics like "This Land is Your Land" and "Bound for Glory," Guthrie's music has become a testament to the power of song in times of hardship. Meanwhile, Ramblin Jack, the self-proclaimed "King of the Road," brings a sense of wanderlust and adventure to the duo. With his gravelly voice and soulful guitar playing, Ramblin Jack has carved out a niche for himself as a true folk icon. Whether he's recounting tall tales from the road or paying homage to his heroes, Ramblin Jack's authentic spirit shines through in every performance. Together, Woody Guthrie and Ramblin Jack make for a dynamic duo that's not to be missed. Their chemistry on stage is undeniable, with Guthrie's heartfelt lyrics blending seamlessly with Ramblin Jack's soulful melodies. If you're looking for a night of folk music that's equal parts poignant and playful, look no further than this legendary pair. So, are Woody Guthrie and Ramblin Jack folk legends or simply folksy legends? We'll let you be the judge of that. But one thing's for sure: when these two take the stage, magic happens. Don't miss your chance to witness history in the making.
