Somebody Else, Not Me is a 1980 album by American folk and blues singer Dave Van Ronk. [1]
Somebody Else, Not Me continues Van Ronk's return to basic blues, folk and jazz accompanying himself on guitar. It was reissued (with a slight change of name) as Someone Else, Not Me on CD by Philo in 1999. It was originally to be released in late 1970s as the follow-up to Sunday Street. The cover of Bob Dylan's " Song to Woody" was the second original Dylan song Van Ronk recalled hearing, at the Gaslight Cafe. [2]

AllMusic | [3] |
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings | [4] |
The Boston Globe called the album "a powerful, if unfocused, assortment of traditional blues and ragtime, plus a dose of whimsy and more current material." [5]
For AllMusic, critic William Ruhlman wrote: "If the result was not quite the equal of Sunday Street, it was in the same league and continued Van Ronk's mature renaissance." [3]
