Artist: Elizabeth Cotten
Year: 1958
Genre: Folk
Grade: B+
I prefer the instrumentals, if only because Elizabeth Cotten was 65-years-old when this lo-fi LP was recorded. Her voice just ain’t that great. But her guitar…it’s fantastic and totally unique. No wonder The Beatles (as The Quarrymen) covered “Freight Train.”
