About:
Here, Odetta "faces the audience" in this archive concert from 1964, accompanied by Leslie Grinage and Peter Childs. In black and white images, gripping her guitar, Odetta's voice takes us on a journey back in time. Somewhere between folk and blues, the songs follow one another with a regularity and a soothing calmness.

Her story can be heard in the timbre of her voice. Her transition to opera and musicals in the 1940s seems to convey itself through the almost lyrical vocal flights she sometimes indulges in. Elsewhere, her conversion to folk is transmitted through more traditional themes ("Love Proved False"), while her protest period and her commitment to the civil rights movement can be felt in the sincerity of her words ("Mind on Freedom") and in the emotion of her voice.
