Young Brigham is an album by American folk musician Ramblin' Jack Elliott, released in 1968.

History

Young Brigham was Elliott's first major-label release on the Reprise label. The liner notes were written by his friend Johnny Cash. The subject of "Goodnight Little Arlo" by Woody Guthrie is his son, Arlo Guthrie. "912 Greens" documents Elliott and his friends' search for Billy Faier in New Orleans.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. wrote the album "The difference between Elliott's versions [of the songs] and those of your average folksinger is that he sounds as though he's having a good time. Young Brigham is a nice snapshot of Elliott in the late ‘60s and shows him leaving the confines of a large studio with his folk heritage intact."
