Nature Whispers: The Lords of the Deep
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Ramblin' Jack is a living legend, an essential link between his old pal Woodie Guthrie and the folk singers of the '60s. He takes that link one step further in this fantastic collection of duets with an inspired selection of contemporary artists that include Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Tom Waits, Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Bob Weir and others. Another living legend, Roy Rogers, sits at the production helm and provides Friends with a quiet and loose feel that sounds less like a bunch of stars holed up in the studio than friends jamming around the kitchen table. Despite such standout cuts as the rough and tumble "Louise" (with Tom Waits), the soaring and beautiful "Rex's Blues" (with Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith) and a tender rendition of the Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil" (with Bob Weir), the highlight is "Bleecker Street Blues," a song he wrote when Bob Dylan was seemingly on his death bed. With just his old and ragged voice and a loosely strummed guitar, Ramblin' Jack sings a story-song that draws a direct line from Woodie and Pete Seeger right on through to Judy Collins, Gordon Lightfoot, Townes Van Zandt and Bob Dylan. "Later on we'll join Woody and Jerry and Townes/but right now we all need you/so please stick around...." he sings to the ailing troubadour. Let's hope they both do. --Tod Nelson
