"Odetta" is the 1967 album by Odetta. It is viewed as one of her most "commercial" (that is, aimed at mainstream audiences), but it has not subsequently been re-released on CD as many of her albums were.

It should not be confused with other self-titled albums by Odetta on different labels: the 1963 compilation LP "Odetta" on the Everest label and 2003's "Odetta" which is actually the album "To Ella".

Allmusic stated in their review that "She also acquits herself fairly well on cuts that strike a sort of funky lounge jazz mood, although those songs aren't memorable. Overall, it's a curiosity, not too embarrassing, but not matching her with the settings that suit her best."
