Saw the beautiful Odetta five years ago. I had thought she was performing with that guy from the Police, so after the show I asked, "Odetta, where is thy Sting?"

GREAT....

@PHJimY I liked it very much.

@Cerpth I've never heard her do "Sining In The Rain", but her singing and guitar playing on "Odetta~ Gallows Pole" is anything but a "fucking funeral march" even though it's about a hanging. Give it a listen.

A house new Orleans, the rising sun... missing some words -.-

No matter how much talent you have, it's impossible for a young person to sing this song with quite this much world-weariness and wisdom. This is breathtaking, and to my ears it blows all other versions out of the water. Maybe if I live another thirty years I can be almost half this good.

saw here live once. will remember her always.
@raedhead This song predates The Animals by, at a minimum 30 years. The earliest known recording is from 1933 and the gentleman that recorded it claims to have learned it from his Grandfather. Some music historians claim it is based off a 16th century English folk song about a brothel in Soho and that it was brought to the U.S by settlers
