Odetta's rich dark laugh punctuates her words as she speaks about folk music, the music industry, and her career, from inside New York's famous Folk City. Odetta is unique- a classically trained black female folk singer. She has been a dynamic force in American music for over 25 years though her career has never been limited to folksinging. Recitals and concerts across America and around the world, performed with symphony orchestras, have always been part of Odetta's repertoire. In this introspective program Odetta presents a wide range of material from Southern chain-gang songs to Broadway show tunes, gospel hymns to children's play songs.
