"Elizabeth Cotten "Live!" is a must-have experience. Not only does she play and sing many of her best songs, but also she tells the most charming, evocative, and witty stories about her life and art. Her love, kindness, and superb intelligence just shine through. We are so lucky to have these recordings."
Amazing and Gifted Woman!!!!

"I'm not lying when I said that I weeped when I heard "Freight Train" the first time. Every song on this CD moved me as well as her lovely storytelling. This incredible woman was 85 when it was recorded and she sounds so hip and cool. Her guitar playing was very impressive and very ahead of its time. As a musician myself, I have learned a great deal about "Cotten Picking" and melodies. This album is a must have for Elizabeth fans and for people who have an interest in true blue acoustic music :)"
