Rambling Boy is an album by bassist Charlie Haden. It was recorded in January and April 2008 at various locations, and was released later that year by Decca and Emarcy Records. On the album, Haden is joined by his "Family & Friends," including members of his immediate family plus guest musicians.[1][2][3]
Although Haden is best known for his involvement in jazz, he began his musical career at age 2 as part of the Haden Family Band, playing the role of a yodeling cowboy. Rambling Boy came about when, at a gathering to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday, Haden's wife Ruth Cameron suggested that the family sing "You Are My Sunshine". The event revived an idea for a recording that had been in the back of Haden's mind for years. The album, which includes songs made famous by the Carter Family and Hank Williams as well as original and traditional pieces, features appearances by Haden's wife and children, as well as over a dozen guest musicians.[4]
The album was followed by a 2009 documentary film titled Rambling Boy, written and directed by Reto Caduff.[5]
