AVAILABLE NOW: Karen Dalton – Green Rocky Road

Karen Dalton – Green Rocky Road

(Megaphone Music)

2008 release, another chapter in the ever-evolving story of the late Karen Dalton. This is the second installment of The Loop Tapes, an album consisting of recordings made by Karen herself at her Boulder home on reel-to-reel. It sounds like the album Dalton would have released in 1963 had she been given the opportunity then. Here are the first takes of ’Ribbon Bow’, ’Katie Cruel’, and ’In The Evening’ and a more complete testimony of Karen’s repertoire on banjo. By the grace of Joe Loop’s faith, we know have a testimony of what a Karen Dalton 1963 album would be like.

Available in the UK/Europe now.

Released in the U.S. on June 10, 2008.
