"Freight Train," Cotten's most noted tune was written when she was twelve years old. It has long been considered an American folk song classic. Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten was Born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on January 5, 1895. She started playing her older brother's Banjo at the age of eight. She soon moved on to his guitar. She was self taught and played the guitar left-handed and upside-down. Iwas after the girl who sang it in 1957 England. She was part of a skiffle group. |
