Odetta and Johnny Cash

Odetta on "The Johnny Cash Show," August 30, 1969. The first song she performs is based on a Negro "field blues" song known simply as "Black Woman," then duets with Cash on "Shame And Scandal In The Family," which was written by a calypso artist who went by Sir Lancelot, in the 40s.
Thanks to the Commenters who helped me I.D. these songs. I'm nothing without you!

The original song is "fort holland calypso" (sir lancelot) shame and scandal in the family is a variation.

More stirring than an industrial stirring machine in the largest soup factory in the world.

I saw Odetta live in Toronto shortly before her passing. It was the most amazig concert I've ever experienced.

devastating, beautiful, powerful, compelling, true. The reason why people want to sing.
