His most intimate recording of his career serves as a crucial reminder of a proud and dying American tradition. Guests include Lucinda Williams, David Hidalgo, Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers), Corin Tucker (of Sleater/Kinney) and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline.

Ramblin' Jack Elliott is a self-made wayfarer whose fifty-plus years of experience resonate in every note he sings. He is a living link to Woody Guthrie and Brownie McGhee, plus landmark songwriters like Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Kris Kristoffersen, Bruce Springsteen and Beck all cite him as an inspiration.

Ramblin' Jack's new album in 2006 'I Stand Alone' is perhaps the most intimate recording of his career and serves as a crucial reminder of a proud and dying American tradition. On 'I Stand Alone' Elliott offers an introspective look back at his career, through meditative takes on favorites like "Old Blue,” and untried material like the Carter Family's "Engine 143” and Hoagy Carmichael's "Hong Kong Blues."

Guests on 'I Stand Alone' include Lucinda Williams, David Hidalgo, Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers), Corin Tucker (of Sleater/Kinney) and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline.

At age 74 and after forty albums, Ramblin' Jack Elliott shows that he still has plenty left in him.
