My Eyes Have Seen

My Eyes Have Seen is a studio album by American folk singer Odetta, first released in July 1959.

[1][2] It is the first record by Odetta to be released by Vanguard Records.

Milt Okun arranged and conducted a choir on a portion of the songs, notably "Motherless Children", "Ox-Driver Song" and the title piece.

My Eyes Have Seen was re-released on CD in 1994.

In his review for Allmusic, critic Ronnie D. Lankford wrote of the album, "While it might be hard for a post-millennium roots fan to understand, Odetta—in her heyday—was the kind of folk artist who drove purists crazy.... My Eyes Have Seen is a nice portrait of a performer bucking conformity as she stretches her artistic legs a bit.."[3] All songs Traditional unless otherwise noted.
