Bob Dylan: "The first
thing that turned me on to folk singing was Odetta. I heard a record of hers Odetta
Sings Ballads and Blues in a record store, back when you could listen to
records right there in the store. Right then and there, I went out and traded
my electric guitar and amplifier for an acoustical guitar, a flat-top Gibson.
... [That album was] just something vital and personal. I learned all the songs
on that record" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odetta)
