On September 28, 1999, the legendary Odetta released 'Blues Everywhere I Go'—her first full-length studio recording in fourteen years. An eagerly awaited album for folk, blues, and American roots lovers, Odetta stands backed by a talented band (including Jimmy Vivino and Mike Merrit) as she channels Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Alberta Hunter, and others, reviving the spirit and meaning of urban blues from the 1920s and 30s. Grammy-winning Dr. John joins her on two tracks, including a stirring duet. With Maya Angelou and Robert Gordon contributing to the liner notes, this CD celebrates Odetta as a national spokeswoman for American roots music, inspiring countless artists from Bob Dylan to Joan Baez. An absolute triumph, her voice is as powerful and resonant as ever.
