Karen Dalton (1937-1993) recorded two studio albums during her lifetime, neither of which contain any songs she wrote. By the good graces of legendary guitarist Peter Walker, who oversees Karen's Estate, we are gifted with these lost lyrics, now given voice by other great women of song. Featuring Laurel Halo, Sharon Van Etten, Julia Holter, Isobel Campbell, Josephine Foster and more.

Karen Dalton recorded just 2 studio albums during her lifetime, neither of which contained songs written by her. That is hard to believe when you hear this album with interpretations of her lyrics by artists including Sharon Van Etten and Isobel Campbell. The songs are all wonderful but if you are not in the mood for beautiful music, just read the words on the cover.
