Unbekannt

A friend of mine made me "know" Karen Dalton yesterday. She apparently released only two albums, we listened to the most popular: "In my own time"...called the Billie Holyday of the American folk music she played banjo and guitar...I like her attitude to singing...in the japanese version of her cd album, there is a citation from Bob Dylan´s Chronicles...a description of times where festivals and concert, reunion and events were taking place spontaneously all over the country...maybe becuase of the music of the "I am not there" movie, maybe because of the need of something new: either way I have been listening a lot of American folk music lately.
