Synopsis

Product Description

Deluxe 2CD+DVD featuring previously unreleased 1962 live reel-to-reel recordings, remastered at the Abbey Road studios. Karen Dalton was one of the most fascinating singers of the 1960's New York folk scene, a genuine cult figure and an influence on such famous friends such as Bob Dylan, Fred Neil, Tim Buckley or Tim Hardin. Her second LP, "In My Own Time", was reissued to great critical acclaim by Light In The Attic Records in 2006.

"My favorite singer in the place was Karen Dalton. Karen had a voice like Billie Holiday's
and played the guitar like Jimmy Reed." - Bob Dylan

"She is my favorite female blues singer." - Nick Cave

"Without a doubt, she is my favorite singer." - Devendra Banhart

"She sure can sing the sh*t out of the blues." - Fred Neil

CD Reviews

Karen Cruel

C. Nunn | yellow springs | 10/25/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I think perhaps if I were to really hear Karen Dalton in this little ATTIC club in 1961 my ears were receive her awkward voice a wee bit more. This is no polished It's So Hard...

But it's real. Real life. And I think she had a bit of sense of humor.

And what is up with the French dialogue on the DVD? Nevertheless this whole set is priceless and may take a few glasses of wine and the dark nights of October to really appreciate. A must for all Karen Dalton fans in the end.

You Are There...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"...with a pair of headphones.

This is great. Not much more to say but I was appalled by one 3 star review; thought I'd bump up the average.

DVD is great too, less so when the French narrator talks over her performance."

True American Treasure

Michael Haddan | so cal | 05/19/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great package, raw and beautiful, at times even jawing dropping in nuances of performance few possess in our own time. I listen to it over and over. All Karen's recordings are true American treasures, and we are fortunate to have this one released by the French concern Megaphone. I thank them endlessly."
