    A few private recordings have surfaced from the early 1960s, but none capture her essence like 1966.

    This recently unearth gem from Delmore is a fascinating insight into the creative mind of one of the brightest lights of the Greenwich Village breadbasket circuit, Karen Dalton. [Feb 2012, p.63]

    1966 is one more piece to a puzzle that will never be complete--which is of course how Dalton herself would have had it.
