Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys

Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys is a 1973 album by the American singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie. The title was borrowed from a nickname given to Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Although not intended as a concept album, Guthrie recorded it with the goal of evoking a particular, "mythical" place and era, which he also intended to embody in the cover art.
