Odetta. R.I.P.

The death has occured of the woman Bob Dylan cites as the inspiration to go all folky

And we will never hear her likes again. This is her singing a Dylan tune.

This particular tune was covered by Elvis, who didn't like Dylan or any of his songs. He first heard Odetta singing it.

The thing is, I like neither of the aforementioned gentlemen. Odetta rocks.
