Sobre este áudio

An AudioFile Best Audiobook of 2020

The first in-depth biography of the legendary singer and "Voice of the Civil Rights Movement", who combatted racism and prejudice through her music.

Odetta channeled her anger and despair into some the most powerful folk music the world has ever heard. Through her lyrics and iconic persona, Odetta made lasting political, social, and cultural change.

A leader of the 1960s folk revival, Odetta is one of the most important singers of the last 100 years. Her music has influenced a huge number of artists over many decades, including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Kinks, Jewel, and, more recently, Rhiannon Giddens and Miley Cyrus.

But Odetta's importance extends far beyond music. Journalist Ian Zack follows Odetta from her beginnings in deeply segregated Birmingham, Alabama, to stardom in San Francisco and New York. Odetta used her fame to bring attention to the civil rights movement, working alongside Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, and other artists. Her opera-trained voice echoed at the 1963 March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery march, and she arranged a tour throughout the deeply segregated South. Her "Freedom Trilogy" songs became rallying cries for protesters everywhere.

Through interviews with Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, Judy Collins, Carly Simon, and many others, Zack brings Odetta back into the spotlight, reminding the world of the folk music that powered the civil rights movement and continues to influence generations of musicians today.

Listen to the author’s top five Odetta hits:

  1. Spiritual Trilogy ("Oh Freedom"/"Come and Go with Me"/"I’m On My Way")
  2. "I’ve Been Driving on Bald Mountain"/"Water Boy"
  3. "Take this Hammer"
  4. "The Gallows Pole"
  5. "Muleskinner Blues"

Resumo da Crítica

"Fascinating.... Odetta fans will delight in this timely biography." (Publishers Weekly starred review)

"Those unaware of her work will be compelled to learn more. An illuminating, stirring biography of the extraordinary 'Queen of American Folk'." (Library Journal starred review)

"A thoughtful portrait of an artist who never quite became as famous as she deserved to be... A much needed biography of a crucial American artist and activist." (Booklist starred review)
