I Stand Alone (Ramblin' Jack Elliott album)

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek wrote the album "Elliott hasn't recorded an album in seven years, but I Stand Alone ranks among his very best efforts. His voice is richer now that it's aged; it's full of authority, wisdom, and a certain kind of madness — the kind that one witnesses during his live shows... It's a fantastic introduction to Elliott for newbies, and authoritative proof that he's not only still got it, but he just keeps getting better."

Robert L. Doerschuk of No Depression wrote "The point is, Elliott does pretty much stand alone. He seems to like it when somebody sings or plays with him, but it’s up to them to tag along as he stretches a few extra beats into a verse... He is, then, Ramblin’ Jack, no more or less — and irreplaceable."
