(Pink label stereo pressing in the textured cover, with some ringwear and bumped and bent at the bottom right corner.)
Really beautiful work from Charles Brown – not the better-known blues singer of the postwar years, but an almost-ran in the world of country rock – thanks to his work in the group Sleepy Creek!

An underground classic from Karen Dalton – a record that's almost out of time, given its early 70s release – as Karen sings with spare backings that are almost in a Folkway Records mode at points, but with all these headier currents that are also indicative of the Bay Area generation ...
