Lewis and Clark were pioneers, so was Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo. They walked the barren deserts and sailed the high seas looking for new unique unforeseen land and people. They were seekers who took that lonely road - not seeking fame or fortune but to calm the inferno inside them that pushes any iconoclast to the boundaries of the mortal. In music there are pioneers as well- Bill Monroe and John Lee Hooker, Allah Raka and Dizzy Gillespie, Reverend Gary Davis Jimi Hendrix and my guest. A Jewish cat from Brooklyn who looked to the Medicine shows and traveling circus' to find the authentic people he was searching for. He rambled back to NY where he befriended Woody Guthrie and became embedded in the rich folk/poet scene that was burgeoning at that time. His impact has been immense yet he like Columbus took the high lonesome road of Appalachia which led to Nashville and then Mill Valley. He met Pig Hargus Robbins and Tut Taylor and Johnny Cash along the way. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

Lots of artists like to sing about wandering, but few log the kind of actual miles that Mississippi-born singer/songwriter Gann Brewer does. Brewer is a rambler in the truest sense of the word. Ask him where his home is, and he’ll pause to ponder the question, because the answer might be hard for him to figure. He has been known to hang his hat in New York City and California, but never for long. Mostly, he has spent the last twenty years spinning wheels and spinning yarns with his original songs, penned in the tradition of of the trailblazers of his genre. World-class wanderers like Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Woody Guthrie, John Prine, Guy Clark, Mississippi John Hurt, and Hank Williams all come to mind. Fully seven of the fourteen songs on his sophomore album, titled Peddlers & Ghosts, name check specific places in their titles, and the characters in his songs that ground Brewer - and inspire him to leave again - could only be conjured by meeting real people somewhere along the way from one show to another. And those shows have been plentiful, seventy-five in 2013 alone, spread out over several continents. The road is his master, and Gann Brewer serves it well, but the road takes care of him, in turn. His Southern disposition gives him the ability to observe and participate at the same time, and his performances take place wherever he happens to pull his trusty Gibson acoustic out of his weathered guitar case. Brewer is a citizen of the world, and he’ll bring you a bit of all of it if you let him.

Elliott's voice — flat, tinged with sadness, with a matter-of-fact delivery — has become a template for generations of folksingers, as well as an influence on Bob Dylan. On the day he performs at Newport, he will turn 78.
