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    • Elizabeth Cotten - In the Sweet By and By   Doc Watson - Deep River Blues    • Doc Watson - Deep River Blues   Nat King Cole - Route 66    • Nat King Cole - Route 66 (Performance Video)   The Jubalaires - Noah (Rare Performance)    • The Jubalaires - Noah (Rare Performance Vi...   The Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top    • The Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top (Live)   🎧 Listen to more of the best Folk Music Classics:    • Classic Folk Music (American Folk Music's ...   🛎 Subscribe to Cornerstone Recordings for more:    / @cornerstonerecordingsofficial   #ElizabethCotten #FreightTrain #ClassicFolkMusic #VintageMusic #CornerstoneRecordings
