Odetta

2-LPs ON 1 CD Plus 3 BONUS TRACKS

This essential release includes two of Odetta’s finest studio albums from her most inspired years: the excellent LP "Sometimes I Feel Like Cryin’" (RCA, 1962), and the equally splendid "Odetta and the Blues" (Riverside, 1962). These two bluesy masterpieces are widely regarded as landmark recordings of the early ‘60s folk & blues revival. In addition, this remastered collectors’ edition also includes 3 bonus tracks from the same period.
