Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train And Other North Carolina Folk Songs And Tunes



Elizabeth Cotten (January 5, 1895 - June 29, 1987) was an American musician. Her style was traditional blues and folk, but was original since she was self-taught, and had no knowledge of tuning in the traditional sense.
As a child, she toyed with her older siblings instruments, and began playing the guitar upside down (left handed). By age 8 she was playing songs, and scraped together enough money for her own guitar.
