4. Karen Dalton - How Did The Feeling Feel To You
From It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best
Was thinking this evening about singer-songwriters. The name of Karen Dalton popped into my head; I hadn't listened to her for ages and had one of those "...oh yeah!" moments.
Wondrous singer/banjo player with ties to the Greenwich Village folk scene and a voice huskier than an actual husk. It's certainly likely to be a 'love or hate' type voice. In any case, this is the first tune of hers I heard and I love its lilting, winding sound. Its mood seems half pensive, as if flowing with ease from a candlelit room in the wee hours of the morning; and half resigned to a certain melancholy. Intricate arrangement paired with her idiosyncratic distant croon, and excellent lyrics.
