“Few… possess that fine understanding of a song’s meaning which transforms it from a melody into a dramatic experience. Odetta, who has influenced me greatly in this area of dramatic interpretation, is just such an artist.”
My daughter sent me this one this morning. Made me come here to see if Isabel had posted another good one.
“This song is a declaration of inner power, a reminder that your past does not define you. It honors every soul who has endured pain, betrayal, trauma, or hardship, and made the courageous decision to rise, to carry light instead of wounds.“

I remember Eric Burdon and War at Alice’s Revisted. 950 W. Wrightwood.
Right next to where Lou Malnati’s stands today.
I was there.
Sitting on the floor. Right in front of Eric Burdon.

I remember an Odetta concert in the early 70s. I think it was at Northwestern.

She was amazing. Not just that glorious voice, but the way she could put across a song’s meaning.
