Young Brigham

Young Brigham was Elliott's first major-label release on the Reprise label. The liner notes were written by his friend Johnny Cash.[http://www.richieunterberger.com/youngbrigham.html Unterberger, Richie. 2001. Liner notes, Collector's Choice Music reissue]

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.{{cite web|url=http://bad.eserver.org/reviews/1998/1998-07-30-2.28PM.html

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."
