Odetta, born on December 31, 1930 in Birmingham, AL, was an influential American singer, guitarist, songwriter, and human rights activist. She played a significant role in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and '60s.

Her musical repertoire encompassed a wide range of genres including American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals. Odetta's powerful voice and captivating performances made her an inspiration for many musicians such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, Harry Belafonte, Carly Simon, and Janis Joplin.

If you enjoy the music of artists like Dave Van Ronk, Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotten, Lead Belly or Woody Guthrie among others; then Odetta's soulful melodies will surely resonate with you.

Back In Stock

Upon this album's release in 1965, Bob Dylan must have felt pretty good about himself. Odetta, one of the most indelible performancers of the folk revival (and the original inspiration for Dylan's embracing of folk), turned the tables and embraced him back. While Dylan was already the epicenter of the folk world (and was soon to leave it entirely) and there had already been a spate of Dylan covers released, ODETTA SINGS DYLAN was the first album devoted entirely to the young bard's songs
