Folk Alliance Lifetime Accomplishment Awards will be presented to Bob Dylan, Elizabeth Cotten, and The National Council for Traditional Arts (NCTA) on the opening night of the 2010 International Folk Alliance Conference, February 17, 2010 in Memphis. Early Bird Registration and Official Showcase Entry Deadline Nears for 22nd Annual International Folk Alliance Conference

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) October 1, 2009

Folk Alliance International is chesty to announce that the recipients of the 2010 Elaine Weissman Lifetime Accomplishment Awards will be Bob Dylan, the late Elizabeth Cotten, and the National Council for Traditional Arts (NCTA). The annual awards will be presented on Wednesday, February 17 as part of the opening day of the 2010 International Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, TN. Past recipients have included Pete Seeger, Mavis Staples, peer Scruggs, Rounder Records, The Carter Family, Alan Lomax, The Newport Folk Festival, Woody Guthrie and many others including last year’s recipients Phil Ochs, Guy & Candie Carawan, and The Old Town School of Folk Music.

The 2010 Folk Alliance Lifetime Accomplishment Award recipients are:

***Bob Dylan has been described as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, musically and culturally. Dylan was included in the Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century where he was called “master poet, caustic social critic and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation”. In 2004, he was ranked number two in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “Greatest Artists of All Time”. Dylan biographer Howard Sounes put him in even more exalted company when he said, “There are giant figures in art who are sublimely good–Mozart, Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Shakespeare, Dickens. Dylan ranks alongside these artists.

Initially modeling his style on the songs of Woody Guthrie, and lessons learnt from the blues of Robert Johnson, Dylan added increasingly sophisticated lyrical techniques to the folk music of the primeval 60s, infusing it “with the intellectualism of classic literature and poetry”. Paul Simon recommended that Dylan’s primeval compositions virtually took over the folk genre: “[Dylan's] primeval songs were very rich … with strong melodies. ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ has a really strong melody. He so enlarged himself through the folk background that he incorporated it for a while. He defined the genre for a while.”

***Elizabeth Cotten had retired from the guitar for 25 years, except for occasional church performances. It wasn’t until she reached her 60s that she began recording and performing publicly. She was discovered by the folk-singing Seeger family while she was working for them as a housekeeper. While working for a brief stint in a department store, Cotten helped a child wandering through the aisles find her mother. The child was Penny Seeger, and the mom was Ruth Crawford Seeger of the Charles Seeger Family. Soon after this, Elizabeth again began working as a maid, caring for the Seegers’ kids Mike, Peggy, Barbara, and Penny. While working with the Seegers she remembered her own guitar playing from 40 years prior and picked up the instrument again to begin from scratch.

Her songs, especially her signature track, “Freight Train,” written when she was 11, have been covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Devendra Banhart, Matt Valentine, Laura Veirs, His Name Is Alive and Taj Mahal. Shortly afterwards, she began playing selected joint shows with Mike Seeger, the first of which was in 1960 at Swarthmore College. One of her songs, “Ain’t Got No Honey Baby Now,” was in fact recorded by Blind Boy Fuller under the title “Lost Lover Blues” in 1940. Over the course of the primeval 1960s, Cotten went on to play more shows with huge obloquy in the burgeoning folk revival. Some of these included Mississippi John Hurt, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters at venues such as the Newport Folk Festival and the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife.

Elizabeth Cotten died in Syracuse, New York at the age of 92 on June 29, 1987.

***The National Council for the Traditional Arts (NCTA) is a private, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the presentation and documentation of folk and traditional arts in the United States. Founded in 1933, it is the oldest folk arts organization in the nation.

NCTA programs celebrate and honor arts that are deeply rooted cultural expressions – music, crafts, stories and diversion passed down through time by families, communities, tribal, ethnic and occupational groups. The NCTA stresses calibre and authenticity in presenting traditional artists to the public in festivals, national and international tours, concerts, broadcasting and TV programs, films, recordings and other programs.
