Blues legend Odetta sang last night at Joe’s Pub in Greenwich Village. It was a moving experience. At 74 she has a strong, quiet grandmotherly presence — and a lion’s voice. Inviting us to join her on her opening number, she allowed after the first verse that this was New York and we were undoubtedly sophisticated, but that our contribution was close to pitiful
. If you want to join in,
she continued, jump in with both feet. Life is short.
Recently returned from the Lead Belly celebrations at the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, she filled her set with his songs, including the wonderful “Bourgeois Blues” and “Careless Love”.
