  • Just like Coca Cola, Odetta and this song is the real thang.

  • perfect her voice gives me goosebumps so soulful

  • Ed Alstrom on piano?

  • I knew Odetta since the early 60's. We became close friends through some of the 70's. She was going to do a song of mine but the album fell through because of a bad record producer. We didn't care, we were still close. Then, as things happen, we drifted apart. Now it's so good to see and hear her on youtube. She was as classy off stage as she was on stage. One of those truly beautiful people.

  • Good version... but my absoloute favourite is by zutty singleton and his creole band

  • thumbs up if you looked this song up for the gunslinger

  • @TudderDude double thumbs up if this is the version you watched because her name was Odetta

  • Just wanted to hear the story - from the very beginning. She tells it like no other. Piano was a little distracting at times - let her tell it., get out of the way. Too much. Other times pretty tasty.  Wonderful version of this incredible blues.

  • thaknx You Tube

  • Rest in peace, safe passage Odetta.

  • This lovely lady died Tuesday evening.

  • I had the good fortune to see Odetta live in Milwaukee back in the early 60's. She played to an auditorium and did not use nor need a microphone. It was an awesome evening, and one I will never forget. Unbelievable natural talent.

  • Also she sings "Careless Love" at the beginning it's more from "St. Louis Blues"

  • great woman !!

  • Brilliant, wonderful woman - thank you.

  • o more plastic bimbos! more real performers who look like they not only mean it but feel it.Odetta may have never made the kind of ridiculous money the hyped performers of today ( don't earn)Odetta's paid her dues, and it's about time the bimbos followed her example and got off their spoiled and pampered backsides and become real seasoned entertainers like Odetta, feel it, project it and most of all undrestand it. chordially yours jbbutterfield

  • Bravo, jhbutterfield.

    No more bimbos, no more idiots without talent.

    This woman had talent and integrity.

  • She is greatest... influencing Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and thousands of us playing songs of work and freedom back in the 50's and 60's. we love you Odetta keep that little light shining.

  • Habeas- Please post it!! I would love to hear her sing "This Land is Your Land" or any other Guthrie song.

  • Habeas5

    Loved Odetta 30 years ago and still do. You should hear her sing 'This land is yourland...'

  • I've always loved her voice. More please!

  • what a voice!

  • we need more odetta viedos on youtube

  • One of the few remaining real blues singers. Such talent, and the guy on the keys wasn't bad either.
