Performer: Odetta
Distributor: Allegro Corporation (Dist Notes: American Folk Music Pioneer is actually Odetta's To Ella album, a live appearance recorded at the Kerrville Folk Festival in the late '90s and highlighted by an impressive half-hour suite of nine folk songs strung together under the title "Ancestors." ~ Steve Leggett
Taking inspiration from classic blues singers and folk troubadours of the 1930s and '40s and predating the folk boom of the '60s, Odetta remains one of the most important yet often overlooked artists of the American musical tradition. Her unique, politically charged fusion of blues, traditional Negro spirituals, and American folk songs was a profound influence on a generation of artists from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to Tracy Chapman. Odetta continued to perform well after her heyday, remaining both fiercely political and artistically engaging.
