Music reviews of Live
Music Review: Sweet Woman with Great Guitar Playing but bad Voice
Rating: 3 Stars
Elisabeth Cotten picks the guitar beautifully, and the fact that she plays it left-handed with righthanded stringing (Albert King style) makes the melodies unusual and special. Her guitar technique is spotless.Problem with the CD is her singing. At age 85, she really has no voice anymore and her singing distracts from the picking. Beautiful as her voice is during storytelling in between songs, she sort of ruins the songs when she sings, especially for high notes. Also she encourages the audience to sing along with the usual subpar stadium-chant-like mumbling as result.
If you look for the Carolina guitar picking tradition without singing, I recommend Etta Baker's album "Railroad Bill", wich is strictly instrumental and also has a beautiful banjo number.
