Product Description
Vinyl LP pressing. Elizabeth Cotten's 1958 debut album on Folkways is best known for containing the earliest recording of her classic "Freight Train." The breadth of her repertoire and her endearing style have captivated generations of guitarists and fans of traditional American music. Cotten's self-taught, upside-down, left-handed playing style on the guitar and banjo made her a true original. Many of her deeply personal compositions, such as the immortal "Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie," are also included here. "[A] classic that belongs in every collection..." (Blues Review Quarterly), this reissue is part of Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series and features Mike Seeger's updated notes with comments on Cotten's life, musical style, and song lyrics.
Customer Reviews
BUY IMMEDIATELY! If you have a musically curious/talented daughter/sister/mother you owe it to them to show them a legend who is on the verge of being forgotten. Even if they never open the album it may push them to delve into; in my opinion, the least recognized Blues Legend and allow one more copy to possibly live to the next generation. Ms. Elizabeth Cotton should be a household name, it starts with you.
