Karen Dalton

A couple of weeks ago I read an article about the 1960's folk/blues singer in Uncut magazine. I had never heard of her before, was slightly impressed, meant to find some of her music and then forgot.

Then last week I stumbled upon some of her music on youtube by accident when searching for something else and was gobsmacked.

I instantly purchased her two albums from Amazon.

I think she was an amazing singer and performer and sadly could have given us a whole lot more had the heroin not taken her first, like so many others.

I highly reccomend her. Her rendition of Just A Little Rain leaves me breathless every time I hear it.

Wow Nina, That was so original! 1960,s folk music with a performer who is so genuine, Wonderful voice and beautiful face, 12 string acoustic guitar, no makeup, and a tooth missing on the bottom. Great! I love this music! Thanks for sharing! It was a great experience! I would love to hear "Just A Little Rain". Anyway thanks for sharing this wonderful performer, Darlene

Hi Darlene,

If you go to my Myspace page, Just A Little rain should play for you.

There are several Karen Dalton web pages out there, a couple of which have downloads, including "Just A Little Rain".

In a word--wow. I can only wonder what she did during the 20+ years between her last recording and her death. And at the same time, I don't think I want to know.

Hi Dalton, Now I know your name and I love your myspace! I also loved the song "Just A Little Rain". And Dave, Thanks for the info. I am going to look up some Karen Dalton web pages. I really love her music!
Thanks and Peace, Darlene

There is, incidentally, another Karen Dalton out there who is still among the living and doesn't resemble "the original" in any way. So if you bring up a web page and find the contents confusing, it's probably a page dedicated to "the wrong one".
