Summary: Karen Cruel
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:

Here's an unexpected treat, the first release of Karen Dalton (1938-1993) recordings, aside from her scant two studio albums, 1969's It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best and 1971's In My Own Time. In the vein of the Captain Beefheart set, Grow Fins, much work has gone in to make these low-fidelity recordings sound better--but they're still just live recordings from a small folk club in Denver in 1962 called The Attic. It's definitely a fans-only release, but it's hard to imagine anyone really listening to this imaginative and heart-breaking song interpreter and not becoming a rabid fan. Like her friend and mentor Fred Neil, the jazzy folk chanteuse was an exceptionally talented artist with substance abuse issues and a strong dislike for the spotlight. Dalton had to essentially be tricked into her first recording date (she'd been told it was a Fred Neil session) and she took so long to make her second one, it was amazing it ever got done. Supposedly, Dalton did not want any recordings of the sort on this release to be issued. But it's such a joy to hear her here, especially when she gets really ragged and raw (and still achingly beautiful) on traditional numbers like "Prettiest Train" and "Old Hannah." --Mike McGonigal
