'In My Own Time: A Portrait of Karen Dalton': Film Review | DOC NYC 2020
When singer-guitarist Karen Dalton, whose ardent fans in the Greenwich Village folk scene included Bob Dylan, died in 1993 at 55, she had long been off the music-biz grid. And when, 20 years after her death, Robert Yapkowitz and Richard Peete embarked on a documentary project about her, their work was cut out for them: Dalton's career was brief, her official output limited to two studio albums, and, given that she was averse to the star-making machinery of promotion, recorded interviews were believed to be nonexistent.
