CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Though Odetta hasn't exactly been inactive, Blues Everywhere I Go is her first studio recording in 14 years. It's been worth the wait--this is an incredibly strong album, from one of the most gorgeous folk-blues voices ever. Odetta's voice has aged well, acquiring a depth of maturity without losing one whit of emotional expression. Among the album's highlights are "Oh Papa," a slow, bittersweet work of art, and a take on "Careless Love" that must rival the best versions of this often-covered song. What's frequently astonishing is how Odetta breathes new life into old material, giving it new relevance; this is especially evident on "TB Blues" and "Homeless Blues." Liner notes from blues writer Robert Gordon add a bit of history and interpretation to the material. --Genevieve Williams Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsOdetta: Artist of the 21st Century Kenneth H. Young | ClearlakeOaks, CA USA | 10/31/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I remember Odetta from my teen years but finally witnessed her "live" last year in a church in Berkeley & wondered why she must be the best kept secret in recorded music. This new recording is so uplifting,moving & swingin; it deserves to be heard by many. When was the last time you heard a blues recording that touched all the important issues of the day: homelessness, unemployment, the value of human dignity, love & made you feel good inside -while twitchin your butt? This is the real thing, baby; go out & seek out Odetta while you can! Life is so much better & enriched thanks to this artist of the 20th & 21st century!" You've gotta get this! It will blow you away. yygsgsdrassil | Crossroads America | 01/05/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was browsing the culture section of the Utne Reader when I ran across a review of Odetta's newest in years--the review was entitled "15 More Minutes" and it raved about "Blues Everywhere I Go", so I went out and got it. Guess what? It's every bit deserving of Utne's rave review, Amazon.com's double 5-star rating, and my humble "It will blow you away". Odetta's is in fine, though at times, weary voice, but that suits certain tunes well--just how long and in how many voices can the call to better mankind be, without showing some weariness, I ask you? Poignant, indeed, are the cuts, "TB Blues" and "Oh Papa". Welcome back, Odetta." Odetta's return Lululu | Howell NJ | 09/13/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This Grammy nominated cd is amazing. Odetta's voice is still as powerful and unique as it ever was. Odetta is downright incredible on Dink's Blues and Blues Everywhere I Go. And evokes raw emotion on WPA Blues and You Aughta Know. I am very happy to see Odetta back with new material. She is one of best vocalists of all time and seems to carry her legendary status into the new millenium."
