You Don't Know My Mind / Odetta

[gohstlike]

Laurie has no blues on this one. Feeling a song cannot be faked !

[neonatalpenguin]

3 people are charlatan psychics.

[zariyaabali]

Thumbs up if you stumbled across this while looking for Hugh Laurie's Blues song...=P

[Camickaeze]

@zariyaabali guilty...

[surrealIdeal]

@zariyaabali it's the same song...

[zariyaabali]

@surrealIdeal Sung very differently....Hugh Laurie put a whole new twist on it.

[surrealIdeal]

@zariyaabali no shit.

[rubberductape]

added this to my music playlist. clicked the thumbs-up. now what? this video deserves so much more than a "like"!

[bluesgirl4real]

Is this a Leadbelly song??

[rebelrouser444]

@bluesgirl4real What does "Leadbelly" mean? ~~~PEACE.

[HaniiPuppy]

@rebelrouser444 DIE

[rebelrouser444]

@HaniiPuppy come again? Does that address my question or myself? ~~PEACE

[HaniiPuppy]

@rebelrouser444 Leadbelly was essentially the father of Rock and Roll.

[leesterg]

@HaniiPuppy: The Lead was an iconic folk & blues singer who died pre- rock & roll, and influenced several generations of musicians.

[HaniiPuppy]

@leesterg I wasn't meaning in the literal sense. I meant it in reference to how influential he was to rock music.

[rebelrouser444]

@rebelrouser444 Thank you for the information... I'm gunna look into him. ~~PEACE

[EllyMcCormack]

I love this.

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

What a divine voice!!!!

Thank you for sharing!!!

[ArkRed1]

Sorry, that's not the Jimmie Skinner tune.

[MegaBroadband1]

really lovely

[teamcrumb]

It says at the start of the footage the song is called 'do you know my mind', but you have titled it 'you don't know my mind'. Sorry to be picky, but why not retitle it?

[AtomosNucleous]

@teamcrumb It is called You don't know my mind and i think it is from Guy Davis

[denisespurlock]

If it wasn't for youtube I would have never have found her. She is now my favorite female blues singer.

[TalkerWalker]

Isn't that Leadbelly song ?

[niccim48]

I have a version of james calicott doing it, early 60's.

[wdkind]

now that is true soul......

[welshdevondragon]

Just bought an album by "odetta" but I swear the voice on that is trained/ with NOWHERE near as much emotion, feeling, power as the one here. Well thats me being cheap- she is amazing

[religzelot]

I FEEL YA' BEEN THERE!

[PennTrafford]

I'll keep that in mind next time....

[canaar]

Deep navy blue without an evident drop of perspiration. More music in a single phrase than humanly possible. The world has become an emptier place. Go in peace Odetta.

[hiflynblues]

Odetta, said it right!

[Mycroftsbrother]

A lovely lady, a beautiful voice, and a great gift to the world. Thank you Odetta.

[lgmccarville]

The lady sings in her Father's House now.

[carrolly2k]

She will live on through the music! Rest in Peace.

[veganswines]

[whistlerboots]

awsome

[bang1888]

Are their any cds with this piece? Also interested in her music of social conditions. Names of CDs please! I saw Odetta on Kauai where I live,I think late last year. I was mesmerized and have no idea why I didn't purchase her cds at the time. Her music sends you ino another dimension if you are headed that way anyway.

[Gladeslover]

Love your last sentence!! How true! :-)

[rodswell]

Odetta is a Great Artist i wish her recordings get remastered and rereleased!!!

[Azizip17]

Odetta!!! Thanks for posting this clip of this wonderful vocalist. Odetta is indeed a national treasure. Actually she is the world's treasure-and even more through sharing these videos. Btw, I love that outfit Odetta's wearing and her hair style though I remember her album covers with a very short afro. Times change but Odetta is still great!

[nightami]

these cuts are a national treasure-thanks
