There discs, like this, that are required, alone, as an evidence. Both relaxed and intense, this album is exactly so. In the voice of Karen Dalton and minimalist musical accompaniment that coat the songs are found encapsulated the roots of American music, folk, blues, country. It is a blueprint, a truth of each moment, a disc that can play back a thousand times: what is the evidence, everything is here, in these just over thirty minutes untold. To go fast, there was much talk of a Billie Holiday hilbilly. It annoyed the Karen and it's true that it reduced greatly from one universe to the other. But it is to go fast. To simply understand the level, which has neither deal out to a commercial product or a disk for the little boy. You are warned: it's big, and simple at a time because it runs and runs by itself.
