I watched this great documentary on Ramblin Jack Ellis, I highly recommended it, and one thing I learned was "singing pretty" was against the aesthetic of that folk movement. So, no I don't think he should have teamed up with a singer.

Do you mean Ramblin' Jack Elliot? If so then it's ironic because Bob Dylan wrote in his autobiography about Elliot's voice and guitar playing and that he was jealous when he first heard it because it was more or less what he wished he could sound like. I personally also think he has a great voice.
