Description: Odetta Sings Ballads And Blues Artist: Odetta Title: Sings Ballads And Blues Release Year: 1958 Pressing Year: 1957 (reissue) Label: Tradition Records Catalog Number: TLP 1010 Run-off Etching: TLP1010A 11-21-57 Format: 33 RPM • 12” Album • Monaural UPC: none This, Odetta’s debut album, is a strong, confident effort featuring just her and her acoustic guitar on 16 tracks, most of which are traditional in origin. In its day, it was quite an influential recording; Bob Dylan, in fact, once cited this record in particular as the one that made him decide to trade in his electric guitar and amplifier for an acoustic guitar. Several of the songs would find their ways into the repertoires of subsequent folkies, and even some folk-rock bands. There's no way of knowing whether they heard the tunes first on this release, but it's entirely possible, as it was one of the first strong traditional folk LPs.
