Performer: Odetta
Producer: Vince Hans (Compilation) Distributor: Welk Notes: Although trained as an opera singer, Odetta started singing folk music in the 1950s and was quickly embraced as a master interpreter and revivalist. Her strong vocals and life-affirming aura made her an important musical mouthpiece for the civil rights movement of the '60s, and in the '70s she also veered into jazz, blues, and R&B. All these facets are captured on this 10-track retrospective of her Vanguard recordings.
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.
