Amazon.com

They don't call him Ramblin' Jack because he travels around a lot, and they don't call him the Last Brooklyn Cowboy because he croons like his hero Gene Autry. You can't really acquire a taste for Elliott's briny, staggering voice--you just have to surrender to the persona. In his 75th year, that persona is in fine, witty, playful form. He laughs out loud at the lines "Now when I die, don't bury me at all / Just place me away in alcohol / My .44 put by my feet / Tell everyone I'm just asleep" and jokes with his physician on "Arthritis Blues" ("Doctor, doctor, get your X-ray machine / Feels so good, just about like morphine"). Turns out his guitar chops are tougher than his rheumatism: he bangs away at his acoustic like the last one-man band standing at the all-night hootenanny, though when a rare accompanist shares the spotlight--as do David Hidalgo on accordion, Nels Cline on Dobro, Flea on bass, DJ Bonebrake on drums, and Lucinda Williams and Corin Tucker on harmony vocals--the effect is like a cool chaser to his rotgut whiskey drawl. These dog songs, train songs, love songs, fleetingly remembered songs, and one original (the brief monologue "Woody's Last Ride") have been with him forever; they're funny even when tragic, soulful even when they turn tunefulness upside down. --Roy Kasten

Album Description

Bob Dylan called him his "long lost father". He's a living link to Woody Guthrie, Brownie McGhee, and the beat poets. Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Kris Kristoffersen, Bruce Springsteen, and Beck all cite him as an inspiration. Now more than ever, Elliott stands alone, a crucial reminder of a proud and dying American tradition - a self-made wayfarer whose fifty-plus years of experience resonate in every note he sings. This is the most intimate recording of his career, cradled by a family of guests that include Lucinda Williams, David Hidalgo, Flea, Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney, and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline. Elliott offers an introspective look back at his career, through meditative takes on favorites and untried material. At 74, he still has plenty of hunt left in him.

Customer Reviews:

This is the best new CD I've heard in a long time.......2007-06-16

This is my introduction to Ramblin' Jack Elliott and it is everything I'm looking for in a new album. During my 4th listening I became completely overcome with emotion, cried even. I'm embarrassed that it has taken me so long to check his stuff out. He's my new favorite artist.

Jack Elliot in Classic Form.......2007-02-03

Few artists could get away with boldly proclaiming "I Stand Alone" as Ramblin' Jack Elliot does on this release. All it takes is one listen to validate that he does stand alone, in song selection, delivery and musicianship. This album is refreshing because one finds a lot of overlap on his other releases--Jack Elliot standards like "1913 Massacre", "Solider's Last Letter", "Buffalo Skinners", etc.--and for good reason, they are all wonderful songs that he has made his own through his many years of playing them. But what sets this album, apart, for me, are the new songs Jack gives us that we haven't heard before. "Ol' Blue", for example, is in my opinion arguably one of the most beautiful songs he has ever recorded, and showcases Cisco Houston's talents as a songwriter. Other standouts include "Mr. Garfield", "Hong Kong Blues" and "My Old Dog & Me". And though he includes some of his favorites that he has recorded before, they are also some of his best - relatively obscure songs like "Arthritis Blues" and "Rake and Ramblin' Boy". Rounding everything out are some country-western classics that veer from Elliot's roots leanings, particularly "Driving Nails in My Coffin", "Careless Darling" and "Remember Me". The fact that Elliot's daughter Ilyana urged him to make this album is a nice footnote to another sweet release by a true master.

Old Jack.......2007-01-16

This is a sweet and melancholy CD from an older Jack Elliot, same great voice, great energy, singing about old man things.

Music to Grin by.......2007-01-05

Last night sitting at the kitchen table sipping some fine whiskey, I listened to this album for the first time. Had been a long time since I grinned through an entire CD. Jack Elliot has got it.
The kids wondered what this weird music was I was listening to, but they sat down and enjoyed the songs also.
Good stuff.

Folk Music.......2007-01-04

Jack shows his considerable skill in guitar and finds the the poetry of life in music form. Great feeling in this volume. I think it is also a pretty good meditation upon his life(or yours.

Album Details

The Former Abba Superstar's Last Attempt to Crack Open the Pop Market for Herself was a Bold Move, Using One of the Hottest Stars of the Moment (Former Chicago Lead Singer Peter Cetera) to Help her Craft an Album that Would Best Present her Artistic Vision. While the Duet with Cetera "i Wasn't the One" Got Some Airplay on the Ac Circuit, it Didn't Ever Catch Fire.

Easy Listening.......2006-08-24

I've always been a fan of Abba and when the band disbanded, although sorry, I was interested to see what happened next. Agnetha Faltskog is brilliant in I stand Alone there isn't a song on the album that I don't like and I never get bored of listening to it. its just a great addition to anyone's music collection.

Agnetha Faltskog is the best!.......2004-10-14

Agnetha Faltskog is the best!

What more is there to say?

Her voice us great, and her choice of songs is even better.

Well worth buying.......2004-04-20

She has such an amazing voice! I had the cassette tape of this years ago and lost it. I plan on buying the CD soon! Every song is fantastic! Well worth buying! I'm surprised it didn't do well nationwide.

+ ½ star. Agnetha's best solo album of the 80s........2003-11-10

After the lackluster Eyes Of A Woman album, I Stand Alone was a much better album and more homogenous, and Agnetha's new looks were stunning! Agnetha recorded this with Chicago's Peter Cetera, and this could have been huge - really huge - had Agnetha not been so reluctant to promote it. It was heralded by a bomb of a single, The Last Time, that should have been a hit, and there were several other songs with great hooks: Let It Shine for one, but also Little White Secrets and the title track I Stand Alone. The sound is warm, the production slick and laid-back but perhaps also a bit bland, although Agnetha tried to add some edge with the rocky We Got A Way. It's nowhere as awful as Save Me (from the Eyes Of A Woman LP) but it's one of those 80s rock tracks that haven't aged very well. The other tracks are mostly ballads, including a duet with Peter Cetera, I Wasn't The One Who Said Goodbye (also recorded in Spanish as Yo No Fui Quien Dijo Adiós), that are pleasant enough but not particularly interesting. I don't think the album is as strong today as I thought back then but it is enjoyable, and I award I Stand Alone 3½ stars in total for some nice 80s nostalgia.

Pack the bags kids, Mummaýs going to Malibu!.......2003-01-14

Whatever convinced Agnetha to break her no-travelling rule and fly to Malibu, California to record this, her third English solo record, was nothing short of a miracle. With the help of Chicago frontman Peter Cetera, self-confessed recluse and media shy Agnetha produced the strongest record of her career.

From the slightly dark lead single `The Last Time' to the bubbly `Let It Shine', Agnetha gives her all in some stellar performances. The ballad `Maybe It Was Magic' is perhaps the best solo recording of her career, `We Got A Way' is `Beach-Boys-in-the-eighties' surf and sun, whilst `I Stand Alone' is a Roxette-eque mid-tempo about feminism (!) Add in a couple of Diane Warren ballads and gorgeous pop tunes like `Little White Secrets' and you have a rather well-rounded record.

My favourite song has to be the criminally underrated `I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)', a duet with Cetera which went largely unnoticed when released as a single. A shame, because it's pop power ballad brilliance, on par with Cetera's duet with Cher `After All' at around the same time. Perhaps the success of the latter overshadowed the Agnetha collaboration? In any case, `I Stand Alone' remains Agnetha's strongest and most engaging solo release to date. It has a very Californian pop feel to it which works wonders with Faltskog's sweet, unaffected vocal style. Add to that, the gorgeous album photos which see Agnetha with lengthy spiked hair and black leather pants! I can give or take her debut release, and `Eyes Of A Woman' is quite a strong set, but if you feel the desire to purchase one of Agnetha's three English studio albums this is definitely the wisest purchase.

Not quite a classic, but close.......2007-05-15

Hmmm...only one review of this album, and One is the lonliest number that you'll ever do...so now there's two.

Forgotten is the appropiate word for this, Al Kooper's first solo album. But it is certainly NOT appropriate that it's a forgotten album. It ranks as a milestone of 1968-69, and actually of milestone of the 60s, period. IMO, it isn't quite as strong as Child Is Father To The Man, either in terms of composition or production, but it's close. The sound collages that prevade the album are either nuicences or profound artistic touches, depending on your point of view. Personally I find some of them the former and some the latter.

As usual, Kooper is a master interperator of outside material, offering great versions of One (Harry Nilsson), Coloured Rain (Traffic),Toe Hold (Stax;Porter and Hayes) and Western Union Man (Jerry Butler; Gamble and Huff). Again, IMO, he stumbles with Blue Moon Of Kentucky. Don't get me wrong, it's an inspired choice, but Kooper missteps on the production. Evidently he's trying to do his interpretation of the Sun echo, but he gets carried away, and the song is drenched past the point of saturation.

Kooper also comes up with some great originals: the 6/8 ride of I Stand Alone, the gentle lilt of I Can Love A Woman, the hazy psychedelics of Right Now For You and the Beatlesque Song And Dance For The Unborn, Frightened Child. And while Camille is quite at the same level compositionally, it does offer a superb arrangement and production. However, Al again takes one serious misstep with Soft Landing On The Moon. I know this was 1968, but this is merely 4 minutes of padding. Period.

Up until recently, I've been confined to enjoying an old LP version of this album. I just received this Japanese, and I'm listening to it as I write this. Though it doesn't compare to my recent 24 bit remaster of New York City (You're A Woman), it's nice to hear it without the clicks and pops.

If think you you've "heard it all" and haven't listened to Al Kooper, you're fooling yourself.

A pretty good album, but light years ahead of it's time.......2006-05-21

I first became acquainted with this album in May of 1985. I came home one Saturday night from a work day, and found a bunch of record albums in the trash pile in front of my apartment. This was one of them. It's Kooper's first solo album after quitting Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and just before the now legendary Bloomfield, Kooper and Stills Super Sessions. One thing is realized here when it comes to writing lyrics Kooper is lacking, but as far as writing the music he's crafted. Mind you some of this is eccentric dribble with the sensual foreplay laughter at the beginning of "Overture", and then going into the title cut afterwards where I prove my point this is Kooper's weak spot as the lyrics are forgettable, and the music is drab, but don't yank it off yet because it gets better as the next song dabbles with the classical side of Kooper with the song "Camille." The highlights would come after a decent cover of the Nillson song "One" where Kooper would actually release this shortly after Steve Winwood recorded it for the Mr. Fantasy album with Traffic, and that's "Coloured Rain", and I say hands down Kooper's was 1,000 times better. "Soft Landing On The Moon" is by far the ultimate organ instrumental it spanks "The Happy Organ" royally, and finally "I Can Love A Woman" is a beautiful love song which sounds like it could've been released in 1971, or 1972, but it was released in 1968. The version of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" is a hand-clapping rocker here, and finally the last highlight of this album is "Right Now For You." It was a interesting piece of music, and if I can get this on cd at a reasonable price I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat again.

Well done with a couple tiny flaws.......2004-12-21

The overall rendering of Godsmack's hard rock style to String Quartet was well done. Any true Godsmack fan need not bother reading any further into my review, Trust me you'll want this! Their are a couple flaws:

The solos are awesome, But I think they could have been a little faster and heavier.

The actual songs on the album(even though they are good)Well I think they should have went more random direction. Instead they focus mainly on more popular songs.

But thats basically it, But don't think this is a bad CD. All godsmack fans and even curious Classical string fans will like this one.

I myself listen to this album often.

I guess i'm the first person reviewing this single/import/new song etc. As a fairly big godsmack fan myself, as indecated indeed godsmack have taken more of a melodic approach to there music with "I stand along" from the scorpian king soundtrack. While not there best song, it certainly rocks and packs engergy with melody. So is this a hint of things to come? well yes, as I have also heard there new tune "steight out of line" of the up coming "faceless" album due out april 8th of this year. Altough I stand alone is not the only track, "vampires" "sick of life" and "going down" are also included.
