Dead Contrarienne O' Teh Week

Karen Dalton, the most famous folk singer you never heard of.
Dalton could sound like Billie Holiday, and she had the striking beauty of a Walker Evans dustbowl portrait. Bob Dylan called her his favorite singer from the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s.

This is from an NPR story and you can listen to some of her music there.
