Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train (Rare Live Performance)

Music Video by Elizabeth Cotten performing her Freight Train classic in this historic footage from the University of Washington, courtesy of the Seattle Folklore Society. A classic folk music icon, Elizabeth Cotten self-taught herself how to play guitar and banjo. Being left-handed, she flipped a right-handed guitar upside down and as such played with the strings reversed. Elizabeth Cotten's style is unique and talent undeniable. 🎵 Enjoy more Music from Cornerstone Recordings: Elizabeth Cotten - In the Sweet By and By https://youtu.be/3pUdUX5Gagc Doc Watson - Deep River Blues https://youtu.be/MrfYhgEcGRQ Nat King Cole - Route 66 https://youtu.be/jbwPKIPVcPw The Jubalaires - Noah (Rare Performance) https://youtu.be/OxeWojzg9S4 The Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top https://youtu.be/mJNU7YqTBks 🎧 Listen to more of the best Folk Music Classics: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg_WiZoJyyD1_h9wDX5ZAhdAYL8_rwJim 🛎 Subscribe to Cornerstone Recordings for more: https://www.youtube.com/@cornerstonerecordingsofficial?sub_confirmation=1 #ElizabethCotten #FreightTrain #ClassicFolkMusic #VintageMusic #CornerstoneRecordings
