PERSONNEL: 
Guitar, Vocals – Elizabeth Cotten 

Chapel Hill, NC native Elizabeth "Libba" Cotton settled with her family in Washington, DC in the early 1940s. Through her friendship with the Seeger family, she was encouraged to revive her childhood passion and singular technique for the guitar. 

Elizabeth Cotten's 1958 debut album Folksongs and Instrumentals with Guitar, (aka Freight Train and Other North Carolina Folk Songs and Tunes) 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 included. 

This vinyl edition comes in a library-style tip-on jacket.
