| 11. |  | Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith)
by Various Artists
Price: $76.49
Customer Review:
There are some truly haunting performances here, and some funny ones, and some of everything, really. This stuff is so far deeper and weirder and spookier than any folk I've ever heard. It's the motherlode; Harry Smith wandered around and got these recordings before radio started, and thus we get... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

So what's to be said about Odetta that hasn't been said before a thousand times?

| 15. |  | Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday
by Billie Holiday
Price: $14.97
Customer Review:
Just because a recording is remastered, that doesn't mean it's been remastered well. Columbia's remastering of these Billie Holiday recording is a case in point. If you listen to Columbia's Quintessential Billie Holiday series that came out in 1989, you'll notice that those albums (with the same... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

by Odetta
Price: $11.98
Customer Review:
...when you need to hear greatness, when you need inspiration, when you want to listen to The Best...hell, when you are plain "in need...!" This album on vinyl competed with Dinah Washington to get me through many a nightmarish Dartmouth exam - in the mid-60's. I already miss Odetta. She will... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 17. |  | We'll Never Turn Back
by Mavis Staples
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
I confess, I was never part of the civil rights movement, but Mavis gives us a living, breathing account of those times. This album perfectly conveys that message. But I think what so defines this music is that the themes are so universal. Injustice, prejudice, bigotry is wrong, whether you are... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 19. |  | The Best of Etta James
by Etta James
Customer Review:
When songwriters Harry Warren and Mack Gordon had their composition At Last become the B-side to the 1942 Glenn Miller # 1 hit (I've Got A Gal In) Kalamazoo, they probably thought they had died and gone to Heaven. Especially when it too charted at a respectable # 14 with Ray Eberle doing the vocals.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 20. |  | The Search for Robert Johnson
from Sony
Price: $9.98
Customer Review:
While this may not be for everyone, it is an outstanding look at the legend of Robert Johnson who himself was a blues legend. It is a search through the Southeastern US for the real truth about him and includes interview footage of people who knew him well. Fascinating material if you love the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
