Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

9. OdettaOdetta Sings Ballads And Blues

I love the fusion of classical music. This is something I love about Odetta, that she’s classically trained. I think that to me it gives a sense of effortlessness, when you’ve dedicated your life to becoming an expert in this realm. I have deep respect and appreciation for her and her music is incredible. I love ‘Deep Blue Sea’ and ‘Santy Anno’, there’s so much to love, the depth of it all.
