Once again Ashe Records is pleased to offer this classic Christmas album by one of America's greatest voices, the majestic Odetta -- whom Martin Luther King called "The Queen of American Folk Music". On this collection of Christmas spirituals, produced by award-winning producer Rachel Faro and accompanied by bassist Bill Lee (the father of Spike Lee), Odetta presents a deeply felt collection of traditional and original songs. This is both a fine holiday album and an essential listen for Odetta fans no matter what the season.
"These songs celebrate Christmas as a time of birth, of hope, of survival. They are songs of celebration, of reaffirmation and of how my forebears managed to get through, under, over and around oppression." ODETTA
