'Her sly, allusive songs combine the world-weary romanticism of Leonard Cohen with Tim Buckley's slurred incantations.'
--
Rolling Stone
Part-time Dubliner, part-time New Yorker, Katell Keineg releases her much anticipated third studio on Megaphone Music (Michael Head & The Strands, Karen Dalton etc..). Following on from 1997's
Jet
, an album that was described
'as one of the greatest overlooked pop masterpieces of the decade'
(
Esquire
),
High July
features ten stunning new songs including the apoplectic 'What's The Only Thing Worse Than The End Of Time' and the sublime, wonderfully crafted ballad 'Beautiful Day.'
High July
features a host of guest performers including Matt Johnson (The The), Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs) and Susan McKeown. From the early nineties Keineg has been active on both the Irish and American music scenes steadily emerging into one of the most inspiring and deeply moving performers around."

It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You the Best

CD/DVD
Price:

Catalog #:
MEGA 010CD
New UK version of this album, with an added 2nd disc of video material on DVD. This album remains in print on CD in the US on the Koch label, but some fanatics might need this archival promo film footage on the DVD. It's 4 tracks, apparently taken from a French documentary on Dalton (found in the INA archives) -- no details are provided. 2 black & white live tracks, 2 full color videos shot at her house & surroundings in Summerville, CO, around 1970. About 12 minutes long in total, somewhat mediocre quality, but pretty riveting for the Dalton fanbase. Format is European PAL only. "Major re-release of this absolutely essential all time classic folk/blues album. Re-released with new packaging, new booklet and for the first time ever a stunning DVD with archive footage...Discovered by Fred Neil, produced by Nik Venet, the man who signed the Beach Boys and took The Beatles to America; hugely influential over Tim Hardin, Karen Dalton is the lost girl of Greenwich Village. Bob Dylan in his best-selling book
Chronicles
(page 12).... '
My favourite singer in the place was Karen Dalton. She was a tall white blues singer and guitar player, funky, lanky and sultry. Karen had a voice like Billie Holiday's and played the guitar like Jimmy Reed and went all the way with it. I sang with her a couple of times.
' As well as Bob Dylan, the likes of Nick Cave, Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom are known celebrity fans."
