Mandolin Mondays #371 w/ Special Guest Caleb Edwards

Rate this Entry
Returning to Mandolin Mondays this week, we're joined by mandolinist Caleb Edwards playing and singing this Elizabeth Cotten classic "Freight Train" on his 2017 Northfield Big Mon Mandolin.



Caleb Christopher Edwards mixes his folksy tenor, ringing melodies, and melodic poetry in a glass to toast as an earthy, American cocktail. Lyrics of hope, doubt, and wonder ground his songs like muddled sugar while his swift, peaty mandolin garnishes the glass rim. While Edwards’ spirit is smooth, it ignites a fire that audiences can carry for a lifetime: a truly refreshing glass of American folk music.

And just recently, Caleb launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new mandolin recording that he's working on--check out the project and support his efforts here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...=project_build

Happy Picking!

    I believe you got inside that song. That's hard to do. Excellent performance!

    Great job. PS--it's "Cotten" not "Cotton."
