Synopsis

Album Description

Odetta's career has had an untold impact upon American folk music. A pioneer in American folk music, as well as a compelling voice in the American civil rights movement, Odetta continues to sing out even today, expressing her concern for the dignity of humanity. As Harry Belafonte once said, "Odetta is a vast influence on our cultural life."

CD Reviews

Same as 1998 "To Ella" CD

Joe L. Benson | Portland, Oregon USA | 03/04/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is the same recording of her 1998 live album "To Ella" only cheaper. Not sure if its a legit issue since the other one is still in print."
