"Welcome to the annual Freight Train Blues Concert Series, celebrating the life and legacy of Piedmont blues legend Elizabeth 'Libba' Cotten. Born in 1893 in Carrboro, North Carolina, some of Cotten's best known compositions reside in the canon of American music, with noted covers by the Grateful Dead, Joan Baez and Doc Watson. Today, her legacy is being discovered by a new generation of artists and performers." - Narrator (Freddy Jenkins), introducing the series FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES
