Jack Takes the Floor is a fun and entertaining album. Jack Elliott's lyrics are simple, yet picturesque conjurations of Americana. Each song is prefaced with a short, but interesting introduction. These introductions make him sound as simple as his stories, like a country bumpkin, but it seems he's just being playful.
I really enjoyed the album. Jack Elliott's guitar playing and singing seemed very natural, fresh, honest, personal and unfiltered.
The whole album is worth listening to, but the best songs are San Francisco Bay Blues, Boll Weevil, Bed Bug Blues, Mule Skinner Blues, Cocaine and Dink's Song.
★★★★★★★★★☆
