Odetta's recordings for Vanguard are among her best, and this CD offers a healthy 21-track dose, including three unreleased tracks! Includes No More Auction Block for Me and Battle Hymn of the Republic from her Carnegie Hall performances; Southern work songs like Cotton Fields and If I Had a Hammer, and gospel favorites like Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child and Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho. Bill Lee (father of Spike Lee) accompanies on bass.
