Karen Dalton, It Hurts Me Too

Karen appears to be playing in A in regular tuning, probably because the 12 string guitar is tuned down to take pressure off the neck.

It is amazing!

Hey Brody, I went home and listened to this after our conversation and thought maybe you'd watch it at work again soon and get this little message.

Have you ever heard of CocoRosie? They're bitin' this. Cool group though.

Does anybody know what tuning this is in? The chord progression that matches is G, C, D. But with the chords she's making I can't figure out what tuning this must be in.

I usually play Elmore James' stuff in open D. That's what he usually used I think. That's what I play this song in. It's D A D Gflat A D. From top to bottom. Biggest string to the smallest.

where, where, where can I get this version of this song? the itunes of her singing this is nothing to compare with this. poster of video: please help? helplessly in love with this...

I just updated the description with more details. Unfortunately, this song isn't available in any recorded version - at least not like this.

Here's my top "unknown" genius of the 60's, Karen Dalton. Sometimes when I've had maybe a bit too much to drink, when my mind is staggering like the ghost of electricity and I need to feel real, naked emotion, I'll put on Karen's CD, "In My Own Time" and I'll just fall to pieces. I place that album alongside "Astral Weeks" or "A Love Supreme"
It just slays me!

So last night I played the album "It's So Hard To Tell..." for the first time, it being recommended by Tom Moon in his "1001 Recordings To Hear..." book. I had to look it up again to see the release date. 1969?! How did I not know about this lady? I said to myself that this recording has a real "Astral Weeks" feel to it! I just looked her up on YouTube, and here's your comment with the mention of "Astral Weeks". I thought that was interesting.
What a lovely voice! I'm hooked.
