Vanguard Visionaries is the title of a recording by American folk music artist Ramblin' Jack Elliott, released in 2007.
Vanguard Records had a high profile during the 1960s folk revival and released music by many folk artists such as Doc Watson, Odetta, John Fahey and many others. To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Vanguard released a series of artist samplers called Vanguard Visionaries from the 1960s and early-'70s era.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic John Bush wrote of the album "Vanguard Visionaries, a ten-track compilation sans liner notes, can't possibly do more than scratch the surface of Ramblin' Jack Elliott's career. Still, it's true that Elliott recorded much great work on Vanguard, and there's no question that these songs... are among the best of his Vanguard work."
