This is my take on Libba’s signature tune played on the wonderful Waterloo WL-14.
I’ve always loved this song and have been fascinated with Elizabeth Cotten since I was a little kid and my dad gave me a children’s book by Michael Wenberg & Cornelius Van Wright called “Elizabeth’s song” all about how the young Elizabeth learned to play in secret on her brothers guitar, eventually got her own Stella and wrote Freight Train at age 11. My dad told me the rest of Libba’s story about how she became famous in her later years, and played me her music and I was hooked. I’ve been playing this one for quite a while now, but I was never really happy with the vocal, I’ve tried to find ways to put some forward movement into it and make it actually go somewhere as a tune. I don’t think I’ve totally failed… Let me know !
