Contents

Background

  • The album is a collection of recordings of Odetta and Larry Mohr from 1953–54; it was partially recorded live at San Francisco's Tin Angel nightclub, but was not called "The Tin Angel" on any '50s releases. The 1993 CD re-release, however, did have that name, and contained six extra tracks, recorded in March 1954.
  • Like much of Odetta's early work, "The Tin Angel" combines traditional songs (e.g. spirituals) with blues covers. It is often only credited as an Odetta solo album, perhaps because she went on to have the more successful career.
