Folk singer Derroll Adams, whose personal and political ups and downs sometimes overshadowed his music career, teamed with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott to record in England. He is important not just to Folk but also to Country, because, especially when performing with Jack Elliott, there are hints of the string band sound of the Bristol Sessions.
