The great Odetta, December 31, 1930-December 2, 2008.

Odetta singing Woody Guthrie was sublime. I mourn.

A truly great woman. A loss for the world.

Thanks for starting the thread, and wasn't she amazing?

I watched a bunch of youtubes in a mournful mood and found a 2005 performance of "House of the Rising Sun" that was particularly stunning...

She does quite a job on Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" and "Blowin' In the Wind" also. Love her "Midnight Special" as well.
