Karen Dalton (singer)
Karen J. Dalton was a Cherokee folk blues singer, guitarist, and banjo player. She was associated with the early 1960s Greenwich Village folk music scene, particularly with Fred Neil, the Holy Modal Rounders, and Bob Dylan.
Dalton was born Karen J. Cariker in Enid, Oklahoma. Her bluesy, worldweary voice is often compared to jazz singer Billie Holiday, though Dalton said Bessie Smith was a greater influence. She sang blues, folk, country, pop, Motownmaking over each song in her own style. She played the twelve string guitar and a long neck banjo.
