Painful Facts About Karen Dalton, The Voice That Folk Music Forgot

Описание: Some artists shine like spotlights. Others flicker like candle flames—delicate, haunting, and unforgettable. Karen Dalton was the latter. A voice that didn’t seek your attention but broke your heart the moment you heard it. With her aching delivery, clawhammer banjo, and sorrow-stained interpretations of American folk and blues, she captured something ancient and unfiltered—something painfully real. She was Bob Dylan’s favorite singer, a spectral presence in Greenwich Village, and a mother, musician, and wanderer who refused to play by the rules of fame. But while others climbed charts, Karen slipped quietly through the cracks, leaving behind only two albums, a thousand rumors, and a legacy that would take decades to bloom. This video dives deep into the raw, tangled life of Karen Dalton: a woman of stunning talent, tormented by addiction, battered by neglect, and ultimately rediscovered by a new generation that hears in her voice the pain—and power—of surviving. Hers is not a story of fame. It’s a story of truth. A story of music so intimate it feels like it was never meant to be heard—until now.
