CD Reviews

My first Odetta CD will not be my last

R. Kyle | USA | 09/10/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Every time I've heard Odetta, the power and conviction in her voice has always moved me. You don't question that her heart's not in her work. This collection is my first CD of hers, but will not be my last. All I wanted was an overview and a chance to hear more than what I had experienced so far. I'm impressed with the quality and breadth of this collection. There's not a bad song among the ten and it'll all move you.

My favorites:

"House of the Rising Sun" jazzy and bittersweet

"Cool Water" sounds just like the title

"Midnight Special" definitely better than the CCR cover, which doesn't convey the song's true meaning

Rebecca Kyle, September 2009"

Poor show

"Vanguard Visionaries is an extraordinarily disappointing series, given that the label is being so stingy with its offerings. The label has an excellent roster. If they wanted to publicise their archives, they could have been a great deal more generous at this price - or else offered it for $6 or so. It's also disappointing that Vanguard is ignoring some of the wonderful stuff in its archives and focusing instead on meaningless releases of this variety - the "greatest hits" by the same artists, on the same label, are a much better deal."
