Catch us ugly crying in the car to the late great Karen Dalton! We chat about who and how she was “in her own time”: a sublime, confident folk musician and interpreter who made everything she played—trad, pop, blues—sound like a Karen Dalton song. Also a renowned cooker of beans, apparent Michael Hurley adapter, and early feminist who liked hangin out with weird people (Cheech Marin among them). We also welcome our new “sponsor,” the shadowy yet inventive Peppermill Goose Farm and Chemical Manufacturing Plant.

S2 Episode 1: Do It Or Die!: On Karen Dalton

A new music podcast from writer, researcher &amp; producer Sophie Abramowitz, artist &amp; musician Sarah Bachman, and folklorist, writer &amp; SPINSTER co-owner Emily Hilliard. The tongue-in-cheek name is inspired by the phenomenon of women folk musicians of the 20th-21st centuries being dubbed, for better or worse (usually worse), “the female Bob Dylan.” This is a podcast about gender &amp; genre, singer-songwriters, the idea of tradition, and what we need to do to find Connie Converse (according to ChatGPT). Join us as we hang out, talk a little trash, and reassess the women of the folk scene.
