For those of you who like Billie Holiday you'll love Karen Dalton. She would play a 12 string Gibson guitar and a long neck banjo. This was one seriously talented woman! Although she had a tough life, she made some really inspiring music!

I don't know much about Karen Dalton, but the release of her album Green Rocky Road sounds pretty epic. Not to mention that both Bob Dylan and Devendra Banhart name her as their favorite singer. A press release I received today says, "Green Rocky Road is as close as we’ll ever get to hear the record Karen Dalton would have made in 1963." Instead, the album will be released June 10th, 2008! It goes on to say:
Discovered on the same reel-to-reel tapes that yielded the li... MORE

Time to put your quiet hats on, Moggers. I ran across this track on Jesse Jarnow's blog the other day and I gotta say that I CANNOT get enough of this song. There's something so sad and so sublime in her singing and phrasing.... from allmusic:A cult singer, 12-string guitarist, and banjo player of the New York 1960s folk revival, Karen Dalton still remains known to very few, despite counting the likes of Bob Dylan and Fred Neil among her acquaintances. This was partly ... MORE

People seemed to like "Cotton-Eyed Joe" so I dug out the first Karen Dalton record I ever owned (and, I think, the only one available for a long time), It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best and uploaded "Ribbon Bow."
Heartbreaking, yes?

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 titl... MORE

Committed to tape some seven years before the release of Dalton's first LP, the Cotton Eyed Joe recordings find Dalton tackling a wealth of traditional songs and folk favorites from the likes of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Ray Charles, and Fred Neil himself. Karen Dalton, It Hurts Me Too (bonus footage... MORE

We all have our favorite artists, and i suspect that a lot of us are suckers for COVER VERSIONS of our fav's songs. Many a cd has been purchaced by me for NO OTHER REASON than a song list that includes a cover or two. And, if your like me, you then compare the cover to the original an' find fault. I'm a sucker for a good BEATLE cover, but in the end, i usualy, almost always, prefer the BEATLE'S version.Sometimes, rarely, a cover can surpass the original. Sometimes its ju... MORE

greetings from an ice arena in the middle of nowhere. i'm somewhere in PA right now on tour. i think we're near Pittsburgh, however as i look out the window of our tour bus parked in a vacant lot in a field there are no signs that confirm this notion. recently in toronto i stumbled across a CD reissue of Karen Dalton's "In My Own TIme." my friend megan gave me a shitty vinyl burn of this record a 4 years ago and i've loved it ever since. i'm so stoked seattle's own Lig...

My favorite places this last tour...I really enjoyed the End of the Road Festival in England. I got to make friends with Howe Gelb and Ryan Adams. Lovely people. I have an awesome fan in England, Charlie, who gets me copies of my favorite out-of-print records. Charlie got me a vinyl of that Karen Dalton record, In My Own Time, which has her cover of "Katie Cruel" and "Same Old Man" - beautiful record. Karen Dalton's In My Own Time. And he also got me a copy of the... MORE
