Freight Train Single – Susanna
SusannaSonata SONATA038 2017‘Go Dig My Grave’Ā is a uniqueĀ project between Susanna,Ā Swiss baroque harp playerĀ Giovanna Pessi, accordion playerĀ Ida Hidle and fiddleĀ player &Ā folk singer Tuva Syvertsen. The quartet have reworked ten eclectic songs from seemingly disparate worlds and brought them together on this album of sympathetic and beautiful interpretations. They lend their talents to traditional English and American folk songs, numbers by Purcell, Elizabeth Cotten, Joy Division and Lou Reed, as well a newĀ compositionĀ by SusannaĀ written to a poem from Charles Baudelaire’s once bannedĀ ‘Flowers of Evil’.
The second single from Susanna’s upcoming album ‘Go Dig My Grave’ is Elizabeth Cotten’s lovely song ‘Freight Train’.Ā
“Elizabeth Cotten is a hero and legendary blues/folk artist and her song āFreight Trainā brings such joy and vivid images of a different time and life, at the same time she wrote about universal subjects which is easy to relate to.” says SusannaĀ
Strumming guitar has turned into strumming historical harp with fiddle and accordion in layers surrounding Susanna’s voice.Ā
