The album is a collection of recordings of Odetta and Larry Mohr from 1953–54; it was partially recorded live at San Francisco's Tin Angel nightclub. The 1993 CD re-release contained six extra tracks, recorded in March 1954. Like much of Odetta's early work, "The Tin Angel" combines traditional songs (e.g. spirituals) with blues covers.
She made her name playing at the Blue Angel nightclub in New York City, and the hungry i in San Francisco. At Tin Angel also in San Francisco in 1953 and 1954, Odetta recorded the album Odetta and Larry with Larry Mohr for Fantasy Records. [9] A solo career followed, with Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues (1956) and At the Gate of Horn (1957).
Shortly thereafter, Odetta was hired by Peggy Tolk–Watkins, owner of the Tin Angel, to sing most evenings at the club. [2] When she saw how well Odetta grooved with Larry, Peggy hired Larry too. Most evenings, the pair would each do a solo set and then a set together. On a typical evening, the audience numbered 30-40 persons.
