A Little Bit of Rain: Karen Dalton
More of an art film than a straight birth to death documentary, this dreamy, drenched, hallucinatory film tells Dalton's story through archival footage, stills, and quotes from Bob Dylan, Fred Neil, Lacy J. Dalton, and Lenny Kaye. Along with the Peter La Farge documentary also by Schulman, it gives a picture of Native American folkies in the 60s in Greenwich Village. Screened at film fests in Nashville, Joshua Tree, New York and Los Angeles. Produced by Sandra Hale Schulman, Slink Productions 2009.

The untold story of protest pioneer Peter La Farge whose song Ira Hayes was a hit for Johnny Cash. La Farge was a contemporary of 1960s folkies Bob Dylan, Buffy St. Marie and Pete Seeger. This is the trailer for the full documentary produced by Sandra Hale Schulman available to stream on Prime Video.
Heroin must be Sooooo good. It's Scary 😢
Thank you for telling this story in its full gut-wrenching beauty.
One of the sweetest things I ever knew her name was Sandra Kay Hale
Wow, Bearsville studios, Hurley, Freddy Neal. Beautiful country and voice, wow. I now know blues, awesome
I was there when Fred sang this and Water is Wide.
Allright!!!
Very talented but unusual sounding voice from the soulful blues xo r.i.o ok ❤
Valerie June reminds me of her
😢 so beautiful.
I love this woman, she moves my soul…❤️
thankyou - this is beautiful
wow
such a great and sad Fred Neil song... even the poor Sandy Denny did this piece in her 1967 home recordings and I even heard Tom Paxton do this piece at a Barnes concert and he forgot where he learnt this song from! Karen Daltom..at least there is video of her.. poor Fred Neil.. there is only one video in existence..showing him perform Dolphins
I was there when Freddie performed this and Water is Wide. Yet I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday,
The sadness in the vocals, hard to listen to her without feeling disturbed, but she was extraordinary
The Southern Accent is TRUE, not SAD. Sad is when you think you pronounce everything perfectly, yet appear uptight & stingy, like Yankee Accents
R I P Grandpa Red Crow.
Sandy Denny bought me here
I'm wondering that some people never heard of her before although they raised up in the 60s .
I'm surprised no "Ribbon Bow" in this.
"She was a canary in a coal mine. She loved the earth as a woman and Native American.. but she was desolate about what we were doing to it." ~ Lacy J. Dalton. No wonder I feel so spoken to by her💚

Shit. She had me hooked right from the start. What a pity. What a waste. Here's another one, from the needle and the damage done. I surely wish she could have gotten clean. I wish I could have held her and told her that it would be okay like someone held me and told me it would be okay.
Love it.
Well cell phone babies, take a listen to what real music and soul is,todays music sucks a the performers are stage clowns.
Great to watch, a fitting tribute to a great artist and singer,.. well done with a lovely sequence of images
My kinda peoples indigenous Doors of perception. Cleansing to be free once more.
Lovely film
Just beautiful .
Her God Bless the Child is better than Billie Holliday's ~
So interesting, my deaf daughter sent me a link about Karen Dalton. I had never heard of her. Being a guitar player & singer I love her music. She's singing all my favorite songs💗. RIP beautiful one.
Your daughter had a wonderful intuition about Karen Dalton, probably after reading about her, I’m glad she stirred you to listen to her, I hope you both enjoy the beauty and the sadness that Karen sang about…
Wow. I had found her album almost 40 years ago in a thrift store, had no idea just how incredible she was, just amazing, what a guitarist, what a voice, what timing. There was not an iota of phony about her. The 12 string rings like beautiful but melancholy bells.
I just found one of her records at a thrift store myself, and though I had listened to her music previously, I had never paid her enough attention. I've been listening to her music for the past couple days and have certainly grown to appreciate it more!
@@BlueParadoxical I definitely feel the same way!
Does anyone know if that's a "real" book or magazine article pages with photos and text? Would love to be able to find it!
The images are mostly from the liner notes booklets that come with the Dalton records put out by Light in the Attic Records.
First time I've come across Karen . I'm so glad I have absolutely wonderful 😎
Beautiful but what a loss to all and to music. So many songs left unsung.
Most excellent
Well I had never heard of her and have performed all my life (70+). My very bad. She has a haunting voice and it’s seems she was haunted so it came honestly. Amazing voice that at first I couldn’t believe came out of that willowy person. Thank you Sandra for this work of art.
Thank you for your kind words! She was a real hidden gem.
It's important to stress that this song was written by the very gifted Peter La Farge who I think was a Nargasset native american. He wrote many songs some of which are featured on Johnny Cash's album 'Bitter tears' Peter was a well known writer of his day and even took part in the rodeo. he was a friend of Bob Dylan. His death quite young is a mystery. His song 'Trail of Tears' is very moving.
Karen wasn't really Cherokee. It was like, great grandmother, and Karen wasnt tribal enrolled and wasn't raised w any of the culture
Thank you tribal police. Her mom was part Cherokee and she was born in Enid OK. The story is about her artistry, not her heritage.
@@sandraschulman185 Right on, Sandra. Some people just don’t get it. Case in point. We are here to indulge and celebrate her artistry, not debate her genetics CK. Sandra, I discovered her in the coolest way. I was at Carmine Street Records and they were playing Karen Dalton. As I’m thumbing through the records, she’s just blowing me away, to the point of near tears. I just got finished in the boxing gym, now I’m blubbering in a record store. The owner knew her. Painted a pretty bleak picture of her as a homeless street urchin of the neighborhood (mildly stated) whom everyone revered as a folk singer but ultimately had tried everyone’s patience to the point where they just threw their hands up in frustration and walked away. Still, for those that live in the Village from that era, she is still revered. I bought everything I could with her name on it and am an eternal fan. The Billie Holiday thing...I get. But if you really listen, it’s different...and I’m not preaching to you...this film was fantastic Sandra. I know you know this. I love Holiday, too. There are similarities but I’m a singer too and do I at times sound reminiscent of my singer idols? Of course. I’m a baritone, I have that “rat pack” vibe, but I’m different. Karen is the same. She does that vibrato thing that many may recognize from Stevie Nicks. She hangs onto the words that mean something to her to make a point or expose her feelings as openly as possible. She gives you so many hooks, you can’t possibly have enough coats to hang. Love this artist. Wish I could have met her, helped her...jammed with her. Thanks for this, Sandra. I never really saw her lips move. I only had recordings.
Well said Sandra... "Thank you Tribal Police" made me Laugh for the first time today.... Thanks for putting her straight... Just heard Karen for the first time last night a little clip on Mayan M.C. tv program, been playing her all afternoon, haven't finished yet... She is one of those people with a Voice from another dimension...😇 God Bless You all from London 🥰🥰
Nice job on the video. Karen Dalton was a very special soul.
She’s a Legend. Robert Johnson status
When will his albums be remastered and reissued so we can listen them?
Smithsonian Folkways owns the masters, they are all on CD and digital. As for remastering I do not know of any plans.
When will this film be in HD?
Sorry but no plans to create an HD version.
The Billie Holiday of Folk
That is very beautiful
Thank you for this beautiful tribute
ah mo chroi!
some spirit spoke to us through karen, probably inhabiting someone else now but only one kd and that's karen dalton.
Wonderful
I have been playing "Just a Little Bit of Rain", but the Fred Neil version. I saw her picture in the video and wondered who she was and found this video. She takes a much more 'roots' version of the song and then takes it to another level.
That was true of every song she touched. ruclips.net/video/iGvhnFN4dIs/видео.html Karen Dalton - I love you more than words can say
Johnny Cash did this song but it pales next to Floyd Red Crow Westerman's version...
it would be neat to hear both versions of both singers singing at the same time in sink.
Floyd Red Crow Westerman sang this so beautifully!! “From the Indian reservation to the governmental school Well they're going to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name [Chorus] And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 2] And when they thought that they' had changed me cut my hair to meet their needs Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right In five hundred years of fighting, not one Indian turned white And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 3] Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school Just another empty Indian just America's first fool But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 4] Long Pine and Sequoia, Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near [Verse 5] Well you may teach me this land's history but we taught it to you first We broke your hearts and bent your journeys: broken treaties left us cursed Even now you have to cheat us, even though you think us tame In our losing we found proudness, in your winning you found shame” And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
i played 3 songs live with karen dalton on woodstock tv, have cassettes of me & her, rehearsing called recording studio to transfer tapes studio said it would cost me over 5 hundred $ to transfer tapes. i loved playing bass with karen she was great, peace bob forbes
Hi thanks for the story. Do you think the tape quality would be any good if you transferred it? The record label - Light in the Attic - that has put out some of her music may be interested.
Oh my goodness a truly blessed moment and to have recordings of you rehearsing.....I would LOVE to hear these. I listen to Karen Dalton nearly everyday. Her voice is an integral part of y life.
Hey, Bob...let me know if you’re interested in pursuing this. I’d be willing to help you. I am from Carmine and Bleecker where she is still revered by those in the community who were there in the ‘60s when she was apparently a pretty severe street urchin. Hard to not understand that listening to the pain in her voice. I love her music. Love her classic Greenwich Folk and Americana.
@@ParkvilleLuminary i just found another cassette of me & karen would like to go into the recording studio & have them transferred to cd , when covid is over, i especially want to transfer the song i have on tape of karen singing reach down for ever lord take hold of me. peace
@bob Bless you
Now you can take me as you want, but in the end it belongs unto the... Great Spirit ~ and not you
Really well done.
Thank you, her voice is so unique, but her story is so sad.
