1965
“Shake Sugaree”
Elizabeth Cotten (& Brenda Evans)
Songwriter, Musician & Singer Elizabeth Cotten made her glorified mark in the world, (most commonly with 'Freight Train’ that everyone seems to know if not who wrote it!) with her special unique guitar style of playing [playing the guitar upside down for those in the know!]. She inspired and influenced generations of musicians & artists during her time, as well as generations after. Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead both covered this song!
"Shake Sugaree", is the epitome of such a beautiful endearing song ... vocals sung with such pure innocence by Brenda Evans, here with musical accompaniment from her Grandmother Elizabeth "Libba” Cotten.
