South Coast (album)

At the Grammy Awards of 1996, South Coast won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album.

Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Burgin Matthews wrote the album "Elliott also reveals himself as one of the few truly enduring figures of the folk era, partly because his music is more honest, and as a result more timeless, than so much of that era's music... With South Coast, Elliott's legend is irrevocably cemented."

In popular culture
The song "Pastures of Plenty" is featured in Ari Gold's 2008 film Adventures of Power.
