5.0 out of 5 stars Odetta: Artist of the 21st Century, October 31, 1999

I remember Odetta from my teen years but finally witnessed her "live" last year in a church in Berkeley & wondered why she must be the best kept secret in recorded music. This new recording is so uplifting,moving & swingin; it deserves to be heard by many. When was the last time you heard a blues recording that touched all the important issues of the day: homelessness, unemployment, the value of human dignity, love & made you feel good inside -while twitchin your butt? This is the real thing, baby; go out & seek out Odetta while you can! Life is so much better & enriched thanks to this artist of the 20th & 21st century!

5.0 out of 5 stars Odetta's return, September 12, 2000

This Grammy nominated cd is amazing. Odetta's voice is still as powerful and unique as it ever was. Odetta is downright incredible on Dink's Blues and Blues Everywhere I Go. And evokes raw emotion on WPA Blues and You Aughta Know. I am very happy to see Odetta back with new material. She is one of best vocalists of all time and seems to carry her legendary status into the new millenium.

This review is from: Blues Everywhere I Go (Audio CD)

I was browsing the culture section of the Utne Reader when I ran across a review of Odetta's newest in years--the review was entitled "15 More Minutes" and it raved about "Blues Everywhere I Go", so I went out and got it. Guess what? It's every bit deserving of Utne's rave review, Amazon.com's double 5-star rating, and my humble "It will blow you away". Odetta's is in fine, though at times, weary voice, but that suits certain tunes well--just how long and in how many voices can the call to better mankind be, without showing some weariness, I ask you? Poignant, indeed, are the cuts, "TB Blues" and "Oh Papa". Welcome back, Odetta.
