- Not to be confused with other self-titled albums by Odetta on different labels:
Odetta (Folkways album) from 1967; and 2003's Odetta (Silverwolf album).
Odetta is a 1963 compilation album by American folk singer Odetta.
Background
- "Odetta" is the first official compilation of Odetta songs. It features songs from "The Tin Angel", "Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues", "Odetta At the Gate of Horn" and "Odetta At Town Hall" (although maybe not versions from all of those albums).
- It had a poorer reputation than the abovementioned 'original' albums, being seen as thrown-together by the label. This LP has subsequently not been released on CD like those three albums.
- As a result, this album is rarer than most Odetta releases; the album is sometimes quoted as being released on "01-01-63", but this is probably not true, and rather a result of computer-automation on one music website which led to others quoting it as fact.
