My better half gifted me with a lovely re-release of a lost gem — In My Own Time by Karen Dalton. Billie Holiday-influenced folk blues complete with three fingers of whiskey in the vocals. All covers — just more evidence pointing toward the Grand Unified “it’s the singer, not the song” Theory of Reality.
It turns out there’s a YouTube of a Dalton track. It’s so beautiful, soooo beautiful, I had to share it. Prepare for the beauty. OK, ready? Alright then.
Here it is.
great
