The title refers to the label for whom Odetta recorded her first two solo releases. The songs she recorded during that time period have received multiple releases in various configurations. This two-disc compilation re-issues both Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues and At the Gate of Horn.

The early Everest LP compilation (1963) of the Tradition recordings, Odetta, used tracks from both albums as well as The Tin Angel. Another compilation, Absolutely the Best, focuses on the same master tapes, but does not include both complete albums. The Best of Odetta: Ballads and Blues uses tracks from the same two albums, including 18 tracks compared to this set's thirty-one.

The songwriting credits for these traditional folk songs vary widely from one compilation to another.

Production notes
  • Remastering by Marco Marinangeli
gollark: This is mostly irrelevant to "free will", though. Even if our brains use nondeterministic quantum processes internally, I don't see "deterministic process with RNG glued on in places" as more choice-y than something just deterministic.
gollark: I know the theory gives you probability distributions over things and not some sort of deterministic function from state at t to state at t=1, but it clearly isn't complete so there could be other things going on.
gollark: It seems wrong to say that QM disproves determinism when we know that it isn't actually a complete description of physics, though.
gollark: I guess *on average*.
gollark: That's probably not true.
