Music reviews of Freight Train and Other North Carolina Folk Songs and Tunes
Music Review: North Carolina Picking
Rating: 5 Stars
There is something about these North Carolina style guitar pickers that is very appealing. And here I am thinking not only of the artist under review, the legendary Elizabeth Cotton, but also another female picker extraordinaire Etta Baker, as well. It is different from the Delta pick, for sure. They pick cleanly, simply but with verve. Ms. Cotton shows here stuff here on her first album from Folkways. Here we have the classic, no super-classic, Freight Train that was a rite of passage for every one from Peter, Paul and Mary to Dave Van Ronk to Tom Rush to record in the early 1960's. Along with that tune we have some nice renditions of I Don't Love Nobody and a few medleys like Sweet Bye and Bye combined with What A Friend You Have in Jesus (that I believe Blind Willie Johnson first recorded or variation it at least). Listen away but also save your money up to get the album with Shake Sugaree (get the one with her granddaughter singing along). on it. That's the ticket
