RARE Collectible 1971 First Pressing *VINYL*                                                                      

             Karen Dalton

           In My Own Time

                                 USA - Just Sunshine Records - PAS 6008

Scarce 1971 original first pressing Vinyl on the obscure "Just Sunshine" label ...hard to find and sought by those in-the-know ...the liner notes by Fred Neil sum the album up when stated: "Dino Valenti took me up to Karen's place and we jammed; Karen's voice was like a letter from home. Her voice is so unique, to decribe it would take a poet. All I can say is that she sure can sing the sh*t out of the blues." ...Her 1971 album is that and more, sounding at times like the early 70's fractured voice of Neil Young, Karen's sound pulls you in....

"In My Own Time" features ten songs that reflected Karen Dalton's incredible ability to break just about anybody's heart - from her spectral evocation of "One Night of Love," to the dark tragedy of the traditional "Katie Cruel." Known as a great interpreter of choice material, Dalton could master both rural and r&b genres with the hauntingly pining "Take Me" and "How Sweet It Is."

Karen's mother was full Cherokee, and she told Karen her vibrations were right, plants would grow in her room, as Karen had grown onto the NY Village scene. She had the Beat spirit as well, the existential angst which felt life was dark, perpetually in pain, and that was how you became your art, if you were a real artist.  "In My Own Time" fairly neatly sums up her life. She arrived in New York City with her daughter Abra in the early 1960s and became a fixture on the budding East Village folk scene-- even sharing the stage with Bob Dylan. But Dalton moved around compulsively, played rarely and begrudgingly, drank and did drugs heavily, and recorded almost never. She enjoyed playing privately with friends and hated the Billie Holliday comparison that dogged her throughout her entire life. Producer Nick Venet reportedly had to trick her into recording songs for her first album, It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You Best, released in 1969 and reissued by Koch in 1997, four years after her death. Dalton casts a subtle but powerful spell as she sings her songs with minimal accompaniment. In My Own Time was released in 1971 on producer Harvey Brooks' Just Sunshine label and has since been a collector's treasure on vinyl.
