Description
Elizabeth Cottens 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.
Cottens 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 Aint No Lie, are included.
[A] classic and belongs in every collection Blues Review Quarterly. This reissue is part of Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series and features Mike Seegers updated notes with comments on Cottens life, musical style, and song lyrics.
