"The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement" is usually filed under folk, but Odetta could tingle the spine with gospel and jazz, too. This is an amazing value for 122 tracks from her prime: her nine LPs for Tradition, Vanguard and RCA including "The Tin Angel" (with Larry Mohr), "Sings Ballads and Blues," "At the Gate of Horn," "My Eyes Have Seen," "Ballad for Americans and Other American Ballads," "Odetta and the Blues," "Live at Carnegie Hall," "Sometimes I Feel Like Cryin’" and "At Town Hall." Non-LP singles (including "Hole in My Bucket" with Harry Belafonte) join "John Henry," "Muleskinner Blues," "Easy Rider," "Hound Dog," "The Fox," "Deep River," "This Land," "Oh, My Babe," "Hold On," "Misery Blues," "Glory, Glory," "The Gallows Pole," "Greensleeves," "House of the Rising Sun," "Going Home" and more sublime performances from one of the all-time greats.
