One of the sweetest things I ever knew her name was Sandra Kay Hale

Wow, Bearsville studios, Hurley, Freddy Neal. Beautiful country and voice, wow. I now know blues, awesome

Allright!!!

Very talented but unusual sounding voice from the soulful blues xo r.i.o ok ❤

😢 so beautiful.

I love this woman, she moves my soul…❤️

thankyou - this is beautiful

wow

such a great and sad Fred Neil song... even the poor Sandy Denny did this piece in her 1967 home recordings and I even heard Tom Paxton do this piece at a Barnes concert and he forgot where he learnt this song from! Karen Daltom..at least there is video of her.. poor Fred Neil.. there is only one video in existence..showing him perform Dolphins

The sadness in the vocals, hard to listen to her without feeling disturbed, but she was extraordinary

Sandy Denny bought me here

I'm wondering that some people never heard of her before although they raised up in the 60s .

I'm surprised no "Ribbon Bow" in this.

"She was a canary in a coal mine. She loved the earth as a woman and Native American.. but she was desolate about what we were doing to it." ~ Lacy J. Dalton. No wonder I feel so spoken to by her💚

Shit. She had me hooked right from the start. What a pity. What a waste. Here's another one, from the needle and the damage done. I surely wish she could have gotten clean. I wish I could have held her and told her that it would be okay like someone held me and told me it would be okay.

Love it.

Great to watch, a fitting tribute to a great artist and singer,.. well done with a lovely sequence of images

My kinda peoples indigenous Doors of perception. Cleansing to be free once more.

Lovely film

Just beautiful .

Her God Bless the Child is better than Billie Holliday's ~

So interesting, my deaf daughter sent me a link about Karen Dalton. I had never heard of her. Being a guitar player & singer I love her music. She's singing all my favorite songs💗. RIP beautiful one.

Wow. I had found her album almost 40 years ago in a thrift store, had no idea just how incredible she was, just amazing, what a guitarist, what a voice, what timing. There was not an iota of phony about her. The 12 string rings like beautiful but melancholy bells.

Does anyone know if that's a "real" book or magazine article pages with photos and text? Would love to be able to find it!

First time I've come across Karen . I'm so glad I have absolutely wonderful 😎

Beautiful but what a loss to all and to music. So many songs left unsung.

Most excellent

Well I had never heard of her and have performed all my life (70+). My very bad. She has a haunting voice and it’s seems she was haunted so it came honestly. Amazing voice that at first I couldn’t believe came out of that willowy person. Thank you Sandra for this work of art.

It's important to stress that this song was written by the very gifted Peter La Farge who I think was a Nargasset native american. He wrote many songs some of which are featured on Johnny Cash's album 'Bitter tears' Peter was a well known writer of his day and even took part in the rodeo. he was a friend of Bob Dylan. His death quite young is a mystery. His song 'Trail of Tears' is very moving.

Karen wasn't really Cherokee. It was like, great grandmother, and Karen wasnt tribal enrolled and wasn't raised w any of the culture

Nice job on the video. Karen Dalton was a very special soul.

She’s a Legend. Robert Johnson status

When will his albums be remastered and reissued so we can listen them?

When will this film be in HD?

The Billie Holiday of Folk

That is very beautiful

Thank you for this beautiful tribute

ah mo chroi!

some spirit spoke to us through karen, probably inhabiting someone else now but only one kd and that's karen dalton.

Wonderful

I have been playing "Just a Little Bit of Rain", but the Fred Neil version. I saw her picture in the video and wondered who she was and found this video. She takes a much more 'roots' version of the song and then takes it to another level.

Johnny Cash did this song but it pales next to Floyd Red Crow Westerman's version...

Floyd Red Crow Westerman sang this so beautifully!! “From the Indian reservation to the governmental school Well they're going to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name [Chorus] And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 2] And when they thought that they' had changed me cut my hair to meet their needs Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right In five hundred years of fighting, not one Indian turned white And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 3] Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school Just another empty Indian just America's first fool But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 4] Long Pine and Sequoia, Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 5] Well you may teach me this land's history but we taught it to you first We broke your hearts and bent your journeys: broken treaties left us cursed Even now you have to cheat us, even though you think us tame In our losing we found proudness, in your winning you found shame” And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near

i played 3 songs live with karen dalton on woodstock tv, have cassettes of me & her, rehearsing called recording studio to transfer tapes studio said it would cost me over 5 hundred $ to transfer tapes. i loved playing bass with karen she was great, peace bob forbes

Now you can take me as you want, but in the end it belongs unto the... Great Spirit ~ and not you

Really well done.
