Product Description
From Amazon.com
Karen Dalton was one of the ultimate free spirits. Arriving in New York from her native Oklahoma in 1960, she immediately became a part of the rising folk scene there, a hippie before they had a name, someone who lived life completely on her own terms. She was also, as this records shows, a superbly talented singer, eerily reminiscent of Billie Holliday. The only problem was that she disliked performing, and, in fact, had to be coaxed to make this album in the late '60s. Fortunately, the recording went very smoothly, with most of the vocals being first takes. Dalton (who died in the early '90s) had a natural feel for the blues. She could take songs by her contemporaries, even old folk songs, and find the blues inherent in them. It remains a mystery, really, why a record this good was lost among the releases of the time; its power might have been simple, but it was undeniable. Dalton did record again, making one other album. Now that we have the joy of It's So Hard to Tell, perhaps someone will see fit to issue that, too, and make our legacy complete. It's just a shame we've come to them so late. This is the real folk blues. --Chris Nickson

Are You Going To the Country?,
By Joseph B Connolly (Saipan, MP United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's So Hard to Tell Who's Goi (Audio CD)
Yes, Karen Dalton had another album out with this title or this song on it. It also contained a song called, "Take me" which i've heard sung by George Jones. These two songs alone place Karen Dalton among the finest of the 60's folkies. Superb vocals that take you away to the country and her. Someone please rerelease that album if possible.don't remember the label name.

We know that this time,early '60s in NY was very productive,that everyone got their start there,some survived,some became famous,some comitted suicide etc etc. Karen Dalton was out there early and listening to her as she has songs speak through her you can hear the plaintive uncertainty of her life as it was unfolding....there she is on the back of the cd singing and playing with bob dylanand fred neil and then she fades from the radar while bob becomes bob and fred goes on.Her versions of fred neil and tim hardin songs sure take to a different place than the versions by the writers...much sadder,theres no joy here.I am glad that i bought this cd cuz it fills in some gaps in the history of that melting pot in ny.You cant help but feel sad for karen tho'
