Not to be confused with other self-titled albums by Odetta on different labels:
the 1963 compilation Odetta (Everest album); and 2003's Odetta (Silverwolf album).

Odetta is the 1967 album by Odetta - it is viewed as one of her most 'commercial' (that is, 'aimed at mainstream audiences'), but it has not subsequently been re-released on CD as many of her albums were.
