Women Folk - Iconic Women Of American Folk

This compilation explores pioneers of the first wave of the folk movement in America - women that ignited the modern folk revival and were key influences on modern icons Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and all who followed in their footsteps. Odetta, a true pioneer of the women's movement, was a huge influence on the young Bob Dylan and played a key role in Janis Joplin's development.

Odetta has to be considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. No solo woman performer before Odetta had toured the world singing folk, blues, spirituals and protest songs - ultimately relaying the southern folk experience to a broader audience around the globe. Jean Ritchie is considered the mother of Appalachian folk music and was responsible for exposing her peers to a treasure trove of material passed down from her ancestors that have since become staples of the world-wide folk scene.

Bob Dylan was invited by Carolyn Hester to play harmonica on her first Columbia record which led to Dylan's signing with the label. Barbara Dane raised the bar for all singers when she first burst onto the scene in the early 1950's and a little lady from the Southern Appalachians named Etta Baker set the standard for folk guitarists everywhere.

For the first time anywhere, we present the early recordings of these gifted women featuring selections that still reverberate across the folk horizon and will no doubt influence generations to come.
