Karen Dalton's In My Own Time Reissued
You are most likely wondering why I would post this information. Well, Karen Dalton just so happens to be an Enid native. The picture above shows her playing with Bob Dylan, he's the one in the hat.
In the early 60's, Dalton was a regular performer at the pass-the-hat clubs in New York's Greenwich Village, where she'd gig with the likes of Dino Valenti, Fred Neil, and Bob Dylan. She was often compared to Billie Holiday. But, perhaps because she interpreted other people's songs ("When a Man Loves a Woman", "Katie Cruel") and was a Native American woman, she's been largely forgotten by the public.
However, a reissue of her music might set critics straight. The ten tracks were originally recorded by Harvey Brooks (who played with Dylan on Highway 61 Revisited), and masterminded by Michael Lang (who, like, totally signed a young Billy Joel and co-founded Woodstock). Dalton, who sings and plays the twelve-string guitar and banjo, was backed by dudes from the Gaslight and the Cock and Bull (two Greenwich Village clubs), and also Robbie Robertson's the Band.
A remastered edition of Karen Dalton's 1971 lost classic In My Own Time, was due out on November 7 on CD and vinyl.
