about

Elizabeth Cotten, born 1892 in Chapel Hill, N. Carolina was a self-taught left-handed country blues guitarist who played a guitar strung for a right-handed player, but played it upside down. By the age of eight, she was playing songs. At age nine, she was forced to quit school and began work as a domestic worker. She earned a dollar a month. Known for her signature alternating bass style, wrote classic songs such as ‘Freight Train’ and ‘Babe It Ain’t No Lie’ Cotten retired from playing the guitar for 25 years, except for occasional church performances. She did not begin performing publicly and recording until she was in her 60s, when was discovered by the folk-singing Seeger family while she was working for them as a housekeeper. She is known to have influenced numerous musicians including Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Doc Watson, and Taj Mahal.
