Karen Dalton's early recordings
-
Artist:
Here's another really nice reissue of Karen Dalton's early 1960s recordings from a folk club in Boulder Colorado. This was before she moved to NYC and made her mark in the Bleecker Street folk scene. She was apparently living in an unheated, unelectrified shack in the mountains with her daughter and far happier and less addicted than she became later in life. Still you can hear something elemental, something painfully, wrenchingly human in these tracks. Here's the title track, a traditional song which Dalton makes emphatically her own. That's two Devendra muses in one day...anybody got some Linda Perhacs?
