Music reviews of Shake Sugaree
Music Review: Essential American folk music from a wonderful artist
Rating: 5 Stars
Thank you, Smithsonian Folkways, for reissuing this terrific album!
Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten was a beautiful musician as well as a terrific lady, and this album showcases her considerable talents on guitar & banjo. Libba's granddaughter, Brenda Evans, sings the classic title song, which was written by Libba & her grandchildren. Other highlights, for me, are Libba's versions of "Ruben" and "Shoot That Buffalo", as well as the instrumentals "Washington Blues" and "Buck Dance".
Now let's hope Smithsonian Folkways re-releases Libba's third & last studio album, "When I'm Gone"!

Description of Shake Sugaree
Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (1896-1987) wrote her well-known song "Freight Train" at the age of 11 and sang it for nearly 80 years. Through her songwriting, her quietly commanding personality, and her unique left-handed guitar and banjo styles, she has inspired and influenced generations of younger artists. Cotten was declared a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1984, and was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution as a "living treasure." She received a Grammy Award in 1985 when she was 90. These essential 1965-66 recordings include ten previously unreleased tracks. 26 tracks. 60 minutes. Reissued from Folkways 31003.Blues CDs
