Odetta and the Blues is an album by folk singer Odetta, released in 1962.
Recorded as the 1950s/1960s American folk music revival was getting underway, the album is notable for Odetta's use of a jazz band on the record.
It has subsequently been re-released on CD in 1984 on Riverside/Original Blues Classics (OBCCD-509-2), Ace (509) (1993) and Legacy (354).
All songs are traditional unless otherwise noted.
