Cotten’s voice is taught and strong. She dances a gorgeous tightrope between complex finger picking and beautiful, coarse melody, singing nursery rhyme ditties and dirt-floor blues. Discovered by the Seeger family in the 60s, she died at 92 in the 80s. She played her guitar left handed and upside down, meaning her thumb took the melody. I like her face.
