Odetta is a legend.
This album hypnotized me. My first Odetta song was "John Henry" which I would rate as Top 10 of the Century.

Disappointing
Odetta sings some familiar material on this release, but I did not find her versions nearly as enjoyable as those by other performers. Some of the music just doesn't work with her style of singing. And the words were not always understandable. I would not recommend this album.
OWN THIS
If you love music. Jazz, country, folk, blues. Nina Simone, Dylan, The Staple Singers, The Supremes, Calypso. If you love digging in the dirt, if you're too far gone and you just want to go home, then you need this music. Shame and Scandal = Help Me Rhonda? Hmm.
