Odetta & Larry Know Where It's At

"What can I say, I don't know a lot about music, but this album rocks, plain and simple. I don't know what other words I can use to describe it: rich, beautiful, humorous at times, soulful, intense; music from two people who sound like they wouldn't want to be doing anything else. "Old Cotton Fields" will make you wish your stereo's volume could go higher, "Old Blue" makes you stop what you're doing to listen to Larry solo, and "I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago" (like many other songs on the album) shows the two complimenting each other nothing short of perfectly. The only drawback is some of that ol' analogue hiss, but it doesn't interfere with Odetta and Larry's strong vocals and rhythmic strumming/picking styles. This was one of the best CD purchases I've made in a long time--if I could, I'd send it to you all today."
