Elizabeth Cotten - Folksongs And Instrumentals With Guitar - LP

Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue

Elizabeth Cotten's 1958 debut album on Folkways is best known for containing the earliest recording of her classic "Freight Train." Her self-taught, upside-down, left-handed playing style on guitar and banjo made her a true original, and the breadth of her repertoire has captivated generations of guitarists and fans of traditional American music. Part of the Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, with Mike Seeger's updated notes on Cotten's life, musical style, and song lyrics.
