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 Southern Accent is TRUE, not SAD. Sad is when you think you pronounce everything perfectly, yet appear uptight & stingy, like Yankee Accents

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.

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.

@@sandraschulman185 Right on, Sandra. Some people just don’t get it. Case in point. We are here to indulge and celebrate her artistry, not debate her genetics CK. Sandra, I discovered her in the coolest way. I was at Carmine Street Records and they were playing Karen Dalton. As I’m thumbing through the records, she’s just blowing me away, to the point of near tears. I just got finished in the boxing gym, now I’m blubbering in a record store. The owner knew her. Painted a pretty bleak picture of her as a homeless street urchin of the neighborhood (mildly stated) whom everyone revered as a folk singer but ultimately had tried everyone’s patience to the point where they just threw their hands up in frustration and walked away. Still, for those that live in the Village from that era, she is still revered. I bought everything I could with her name on it and am an eternal fan. The Billie Holiday thing...I get. But if you really listen, it’s different...and I’m not preaching to you...this film was fantastic Sandra. I know you know this. I love Holiday, too. There are similarities but I’m a singer too and do I at times sound reminiscent of my singer idols? Of course. I’m a baritone, I have that “rat pack” vibe, but I’m different. Karen is the same. She does that vibrato thing that many may recognize from Stevie Nicks. She hangs onto the words that mean something to her to make a point or expose her feelings as openly as possible. She gives you so many hooks, you can’t possibly have enough coats to hang. Love this artist. Wish I could have met her, helped her...jammed with her. Thanks for this, Sandra. I never really saw her lips move. I only had recordings.

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.

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
