"Diana Darby's I V (intravenous) is a brand new album of songs that have passed through seven years of fire in a real life, retaining what Pitchfork called 'minimal, whispered rendition(s)' of 'powerfully fatalistic evaluations of hope.' I V follows in the footsteps of three critically acclaimed releases and continues Darby's unique ability to create beautiful and scary confessional tapestries, full of 'fine lyrics and stellar arrangements' (Pop Matters). It is sure to reconnect Darby to her loving cult -- and entrance an entirely new crowd of noir-folk fans with her deceptively lovely songcraft. Though living in Nashville for the past several years, Darby returned to New York in 2011 to record new songs inspired by a staggering amount of deeply challenging circumstances. Her guitar and vocal tracks were cut live from ferociously focused single takes. Additional instruments and harmonies were added back home. The result is a nuanced, intense, gorgeous full-length album with top-notch studio players (Viktor Krauss, Dan Dugmore, and David Henry) adding to Diana's vision. The rare combination of chillingly evocative musicianship, coupled with Diana's voice and words has produced a fourth album that is an unforgettable psychotropic journey. Let I V slowly drip deep into your veins."

"In 1966, Carl Baron brought his reel to reel over to her remote cabin in Summerville, Colorado and recorded one of those exquisite musical evenings. Karen and Richard Tucker were rehearsing for a gig when Carl hit the record button. The result is a 45-year-old tape, carefully exhumed, documenting Karen at her most raw and unfiltered. On it are Fred Neil and Tim Hardin songs we've never heard Karen give voice to before, as well as traditional songs she uncannily makes her own, including a devastating version of 'Katie Cruel', that is so powerful, it is as if the ghost of Katie Cruel seeped into her blood. This recording is a window to her Summerville cabin opened, allowing us to eavesdrop on Karen Dalton at her most pure and unaffected. Newly unearthed rehearsal tape from 1966. Features Karen solo on banjo and guitar, plus four duets with Richard Tucker. Many never heard before covers including 'Reason To Believe' and 'Don't Make Promises' by Tim Hardin, and 'Other Side To This Life' by Fred Neil. KD at her most intimate and unfiltered. CD booklet contains beautiful, unseen photos (including Karen with Fred Neil and Tim Hardin), and a 3500 word essay by Ben Edmonds (MOJO and currently working on a biography of Tim Hardin)."

"In 1970, Gary Stewart, future King Of The Honky-Tonks, was five years from his first #1 record, 'She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles,' and living in a beat-up trailer near Franklin, TN. Gary and Bill Eldridge, were getting their songs cut by Stonewall Jackson, Hank Snow, Cal Smith, etc. and Gary was recording unsuccessful singles. The wild abandon of Gary's stratospheric tenor co-mingling with Riley's sandpaper vocals, spot on group harmonies, psychedelic guitars mixing with southern slide, melodic bass lines, and driving drums, formed a hazy sort of perfection. Further details about the late-night sessions remain as elusive as the album itself, but what is certain, is that a sound emerged that was not yet in Nashville and Nashville didn't want it. Trickles of 'country-rock' were seeping out of various corners of the US, but what these fools had stumbled across was pure 'headneck' genius. In 1971, Riley pressed up 500 copies to sell at gigs back in Michigan until a 'real' record deal came through. But within a year, the band splintered, with Riley and the two Jim's going their separate ways and Gary going on to gigs with Nat Stuckey and then Charlie Pride, before his breakthrough. One song from the album did eventually see daylight, when in 1976, Gary re-recorded Easy People style for his second RCA album, Steppin' Out. But the rest have remained unheard....until now." Includes 3 bonus tracks and a 16-page booklet.

Never-released 1963 home recordings packaged in a CD gatefold Japanese mini-LP jacket. Discovered on the same reel-to-reel tapes that housed the Cotton Eyed Joe release. Remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Peter Mew. With 8-page booklet with beautiful, newly-unearthed photos of Karen Dalton from 1962-1963. Liner notes by Dick Weissman. "The release of Green Rocky Road fills in the lacunae in the rightly romanticized mythos of the late folk music legend Karen Dalton and goes a long way in clarifying her crucial role in the evolution of modern acoustic music from 'folk' source materials. Includes a lengthy interview with Joe Loop who was Karen's friend and patron in the early 60's when he'd often book her into the coffee house he ran in Boulder CO. The new album features private recordings she made at his home while visiting (last year saw the release of live recordings from said coffee house). The only formal studio recordings made during Karen's lifetime -- released in 1969 and 1971 respectively -- were thoroughly dissected upon their recent re-release. As wonderful as these albums were, they captured Karen in relatively awkward circumstances. Green Rocky Road, along with last year's Cotton Eyed Joe, provide a rare glimpse of Karen Dalton circa 1962 and 1963 at her most pure, most powerful, and at ease. These recordings, released by Delmore Recordings (in association with the Megaphone label), document her unique artistry at the time she was profoundly influencing the likes of Fred Neil, Tim Hardin and Bob Dylan."

Subtitled: The Loop Tapes -- Live In Boulder 1962. Great package of this previously never-heard material. "2CD gatefold jacket -- 21 tracks -- 85 minutes of never released 1962 live reel-to-reel ultra-rare historic recordings since Karen Dalton only released two LPs. This 2CD set proves Karen Dalton's influence on her famous friends and peers (Bob Dylan, Fred Neil, Tim Buckley, Tim Hardin). Unusual CD packaging -- gatefold jackets (similar to '60s heavy cardboard LP jackets w/ inner CD sleeves). 10-page booklet with photos of Karen Dalton and The Attic Club in Boulder in 1962/'63 (featuring The Byrds' David Crosby). Liner notes by Joe Loop (club owner and friend of Karen Dalton). North American release includes bonus DVD not available on European import copies of this title. DVD contains live footage of Karen Dalton circa 1969-70." FYI: the DVD is the same material as found on the UK Megaphone version of It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You the Best, but in NTSC format.
