Karen Dalton Artist Snapshot:

One of the earliest stars of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s, Karen Dalton was a personal favorite of the likes of Bob Dylan and Fred Neil. Her blend of traditional folk styles with blues, R&B, and jazz touches made Dalton something of an anomaly against the scene's relative orthodoxy, yet it was her distinctively cracked, Billie-Holliday-echoing voice that truly solidified her legend. She released only two albums in her lifetime, 1969's IT'S SO HARD TO TELL WHO'S GOING TO LOVE YOU BEST and 1971's IN MY OWN TIME, before vanishing from the music industry and descending into a life of tumult that finally ended in 1993.

Dirty Linen (p.71) - "[S]he uses her voice as an instrument and evokes images of Miles Davis at his coolest."

Audio Remasterer: Dave Cooley.

Among the legendary singer-songwriters of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene, the late Karen Dalton was the interpreter and song-stylist of choice (in fact, Dylan himself rated Dalton as his favorite of the bunch). While she never achieved the kind of fame that her cohorts did, her influence was widely felt. One can hear her throaty, slow-burning take on country-blues singing in the voices of Lucinda Williams and other female alt-country singers. This 1971 release was only one of two proper albums she made in her lifetime, and the 2006 reissue includes all the original tracks, remastered, with a 32-page booklet and liner notes by Lenny Kaye (with input from other famous fans).
