Is there an album with her singing the prison songs, like this at 6:17, with just the Capella?

@JavonnasMarie The song "Early in the Morning" is also included on a compilation CD from the Alan Lomax collection, called "The Land Where The Blues Began" (Rounder CD 82161-1861-2) which accompanies the book by Alan Lomax of the same name. Alan Lomax dedicated his life to recording and saving this music for posterity. Enjoy x

Wow!!! This is such an inspiring video. Thanks for sharing. This is my first time ever hearing about Odetta and her works. God bless her and may many more artists emulate her. She's a beautiful woman inside and out & may her legacy carry on for years to come.
