The seventeenth album: #17 Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Jack Takes The Floor
Going by the name, I was expecting something moving towards rock. Seeing Jack Elliott's picture, I'm expecting something closer to country...and we certainlu get that folksy sound, accompanied only by guitar. It's very simple in its setup.
Folk always needs to do a bit more work to win me over, and I'm certainly feeling that here. Elliott's voice is fine, but gets to me sometimes and I don't feel this necessarily sounds that amazing. He's a fine singer, suited to the music, but there's not much that grabs. It gets a bit too samey and boring, to be honest. And worse, the yodelling just sounds terrible.
