	Odetta And The Blues New - LP - RLP 417 Sealed 1962 Heavy Vinyl Stereo Original. “Odetta Earned Her Rep Singing Traditional Folk In The Mid-'50s Before The American Folk Revival Got Underway With The Kingston Trio And "Tom Dooley" In 1958. Unlike Many Of Her Contemporaries, However, She Had A Habit Of Going Her Own Way From Time To Time. One Of Odetta's Most Interesting Deviations From Straight Folk, And One That Caused A Bit Of Contention Among Her More Conservative Contemporaries, Was Odetta And The Blues, Released By Riverside In 1962. Drawing From Classic Female Blues Singers Like Bessie Smith, Mamie Smith, And Ma Rainy, She Traded In Her Acoustic Guitar For A Six-Piece Jazz Band Featuring Trumpeter Buck Clayton, Trombonist Vic Dickenson, Clarinetist Herb Hall, Pianist Dick Wellstood, Bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, And Drummer Shep Shepherd. The Results Are So Convincing That If One Didn't Know Who Odetta Was Or What Time Period She Sang In, It Would Be Easy To Believe She Had Been A Classic Blues Singer. From The Upbeat New Orleans Jazz Of "Believe I'll Go" To The Down-Home Blues Of "Oh, My Babe," Odetta And The Blues Is A Fun, Inspired, And Surprising Album. Odetta Gives Full Range To Her Magnificent Voice, Providing A Fresh Makeover To Old Favorites Like "Yonder Comes The Blues," While Trumpet, Trombone, And Clarinet Work Offers Lively, Vivacious Accompaniment. In Many Ways, Odetta And The Blues Isn't The Typical Odetta Album, But It Is An Excellent Portrait Of An Artist Who Refused To Be Boxed In By The Assumed Aesthetic Of Her Time.” Ronnie D.

	One Grain Of Sand New - LP - VSD-2153 Sealed (Not Shrinked) US Stereo Press On Orange Vanguard Label Variant. Cover Is VG/VG Plus With Top Seam Wear And Old Store Number Stamped On Top Edge (See Scan). LP Is Still Sealed Inside The Inner Poly Baggy. "By The Time The Independent Folk Label Vanguard Records Got Around To Releasing Its Sixth Odetta Album, One Grain Of Sand, In 1963, The Singer Had Already Decamped To RCA Victor And Released Her Major-Label Debut, Sometimes I Feel Like Cryin', In 1962. But One Grain Of Sand Is Not Just A Collection Of Outtakes Assembled To Fulfill A Contract And Take Revenge On A Departed Artist. It Finds Odetta Accompanying Herself As Usual On Acoustic Guitar And Joined By Bill Lee On String Bass, Putting Her Inimitable Stamp On A Good Set Of Traditional Folk Songs Along With Numbers Associated With Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, And Pete Seeger. She Also Brings In Spirituals, Blues, And Even Country On A Cover Of "Cool Water." But, Given Her Distinctive Vocal Approach, Every Song From Every Genre Becomes An Odetta Song, With Her Contralto Finding Unusual Depths Of Feeling In Even The Lighter Fare. It Might Be Argued That, In The Early '60s, Partially Because Of Record Company Machinations, Odetta Had A Glut Of LP's In Release. But When Even A Minor One Displays Such Quality, It's Hard To Complain." All Music Guide – William Ruhlmann. more
