Unbelievable that this wonderful singer is from Enid Oklahoma where I have lived my entire life, since 1955 and today is the 1st time I've ever heard of her. For some reason, the Enid Morning News ran a front page story about her. Unbelievable voice!
This kind of soul-wrenching depth knows no genre, no time, no era; beyond culture, beyond sexual context. Haunting and disturbing, combined with an odd urgency and compulsion that leaves one feeling like being in the bottom of a well and staring up at the sky. Dirge-like and mesmerizing.
If i could change ANYTHING in time, i'd make it that Karen Dalton and Jackson C. Frank became a couple in the late 60's and made amazing music together.
On l'appelait la Billie Holiday blanche, mais ce n'était pas une posture, elle ne forçait pas la ressemblance... Elle chantait du fond de l'âme comme Billie, comme Janis, et quelques autres... Une bien belle chose de pouvoir l'écouter sur internet... Merci pour le partage...
So many times I’ve sat and cried Yes and with no one to dry my weepin’ eyes Baby I’m so in love with you And yeah you broke my heart in two Although you’ve gone away Ain’t nothing I can say But it’s alright Tell me how could you be so mean You know sometimes I feel like I lost you Everytime I hear somebody call your name You know it almost drives me insane You took my love and gone You knew that was wrong But I say it’s alright You know someday you’re gonna miss me, sun of mine I say it may take a long long time When things ain’t what they used to be You’ll bring your fine self home to me To prove my love is true I’ll give it all to you And I say it’s alright Baby how could you be so mean You know sometimes I can’t help but I just wanna scream Ev’rytime I hear somebody call your name You know it almost drives me insane Took my love and gone You knew that was wrong I say it’s alright It’s alright
From time to time I take breaks from listening to dear Karin, and that's just because nothing excites me after I listen to her... She may be dead, but her soul is alive and kicking!
I have read that Lacey J Dalton took her stage name from Karen. Lacey was her friend and did her best to help her. As the story goes, Lacey got Karen's guitars out of hock, and put her in rehab...
A sad Okie blown out of the High Plains, conceived during the Dust Bowl. Little recognized in the turmoil of the 60's and lost in her addictions to later die in near obscurity from HIV.
