TOM PAXTON
"RAMBLIN' BOY"
12" 33 VINYL RECORD LP
ORIGINAL 1966 2ND PRESSING
ELEKTRA RECORDS No. EKL-277 MONO
Ramblin' Boy is the debut album by American folk singer-songwriter Tom Paxton, originally released in 1964.
The label on this record was used from Spring 1966 to the end of this series, and featured a completely redesigned logo, a large stylized block "E" with "elektra" below it centered above the spindle hole. Label color varied from tan or gold to silver-grey. This record has the tan label.

Ramblin' Boy is referred to as Paxton's debut album, since it was his first album released on a major record label (Elektra Records), although he had previously released a live album recorded at The Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village entitled, I'm the Man That Built the Bridges (which was released on the small Gaslight label in 1962).

Three songs from Ramblin' Boy were frequently covered by other artists – the title song, "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" and "The Last Thing on My Mind". The latter song remains one of Paxton's most well-known compositions.

What keeps 'Ramblin' Boy' from being just another period piece from the 1960s are a trio of songs in which Paxton swings away from trying to be relevant and brings a kind of restless and romantic self-analysis to the table. 'The Last Thing on My Mind', 'Ramblin' Boy', and 'I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound' all exhibit a classic, timeless appeal.
