Odetta
At Carnegie Hall
Odetta at Carnegie Hall is a live album by American folk singer Odetta, recorded on April 8, 1960. Featuring support
from bassist Bill Lee (Spike's father who, incidentally, is surely one of the unheralded heroes of the 1960s folk
revival, contributing session work to many recordings and helping to expand the parameters of folk's sound from basic
solo acoustic guitar accompaniment), as well as The Choir of the Church of the Master. While it's not certain that
Odetta's versions of "If I Had a Hammer," "John Riley," "John Henry," and "No More Auction Block" (all done here) were
the most influential of the folk revival, certainly she was an important popularizer of these and similar songs. An
important piece of the folk revival puzzle reissued here on LP.
