About this product
The songs that populate Odetta and the Blues are 1920s blues and jazz standards sung by the likes of Bessie Smith, Gertrude InchMaInch Rainey, Mississippi John Hurt, Leroy Carr and other titans of the time and genre. Most are traditional, unattributable to any one songwriter - but all are linked to Black musicians. In this way, the album feels like an important (and understandable) aspect of Odetta's quest to show America the myriad ways this country's music wouldn't be what it is without Black Americans.

The late Odetta is loved worldwide and known affectionately as The Queen of American Folk Music. She has thrilled sold out festivals and theaters for decades with her amazing voice, style and grace. Recent winner of the Kennedy Center Award, this marks the first time this compilation of her most revered songs have all been on one album. A must have
New York singer-songwriter Odetta Hartman's 2015 debut mini-LP 222 and 2018's Old Rockhounds Never Die, saw her touring her unique performance style - part Jack White rock and roll folk blues, part electronic experimentations - with the likes of Let's Eat Grandma, Cosmo Sheldrake and Skullcrusher. Odetta's long-awaited second album, Swansongs, showcases her strongest set of songs to date. Another fever dream of a record, it includes the experimental pop of InchGoldilocksInch, the dramatic string lead InchDr No.Inch and her radical re-working of the traditional InchMotherless ChildInch; first made famous by her namesake Odetta. Equally inspired by AG Cook's Apple and New Orleans traditional jazz, the musical mixology of these songs spans various genres of folk, americana, pop, punk, soul, ambient and spiritual. Lyrically, it tenders the tension of two truths in opposition through it's inquisition of the interplay between fear and desire. Dichotomy is at the heart of this deep exploration into shadow work, mythological musings, healing frequencies, eclectic expressions, and the art of sculpted sound. Swansongs is a dynamic and powerful reflection of love and ambition; hopeful, energetic and at times chaotic but always captivating.
