I first met Odel at a concert in Toronto.  A couple of years later we ran into one another on Bloor Street.  I heard a “Yo!” and saw an accompanying smile. 

Odel passed me his new CD at the time Body, Mind, and Sold.  I liked it. 

His latest CD, Redemption, runs in a new direction but it still spiritual.

Enjoy Odel sing a cover of the classic song The Harder They Come by Jimmy Cliff.
