Review

Dirty Linen (p.44) - "Cotton's music is drawn from African-American tradition, church music, ragtime, and other styles. Her guitar playing is warm and expressive."

Title Note

Personnel: Elizabeth Cotten (vocals, acoustic guitar); Brenda Evans (vocals).

Liner Note Authors: Mike Seeger; John Ullman.

Recording information: 1965 - 1966.

Though Elizabeth Cotten was considered a living legend well before her death in the 1980s, and her guitar and banjo playing provided one of the most important templates for folk, blues, and even rock musicians of subsequent generations, she never recorded much. A few albums on the Folkways label are all that exists of her unique sound, so this batch of mid-'60s tracks, which includes a wealth of previously unreleased material, arrived like a bolt from the blue for Cotten admirers.

Cotten is mostly regarded as an instrumentalist, and only sings on a few cuts. For most of SHAKE SUGAREE, the North Carolina folk/blues pioneer lets her fingers do the talking. Her unique, two-fingered style of picking prefigured everything from Doc Watson's bluegrass to the country blues of Taj Mahal, and decades down the road it's still striking to hear her dig into the deceptively complex picking patterns of "Take Me Back to Baltimore," "Can't Get a Letter from Down the Road," and others, with such a perfect blend of facility and pure, unadulterated soul.
