Fra Favola E Realtà KAREN DALTON FRA FAVOLA E REALTÀ • di Piero Capizzi • hiunque abbia dei figli ricorderà quei momenti con tenerezza e affetto. Parlo delle molte sere nella nostra vita di genitori in cui si cercava di addormentare i nostri cuccioli raccontandogli delle storie. CMia moglie era particolarmente brava nelle favole e nei romanzi per ragazzi (la saga di Harry Potter su tutte). S’inventava le voci dei vari personaggi e recitava tutti i ruoli come se fosse l’attrice di un radio sceneggiato. I miei racconti invece erano popolati di stra- ni individui che si chiamavano Janis, Grace, Jerry... Ebbene sì, ammetto che per far dor- mire i miei piccoli raccontavo loro le vite un po’ romanzate dei musicisti che amavo. Ed erano storie a puntate, dove il racconto si in- terrompeva quando loro crollavano vinti dal sonno, o quando io narratore mi assopivo nel bel mezzo di qualche avventura. E la sera dopo era un rincorrersi di domande che si riallacciavano alla trama del giorno prima. “Jimi c’è poi andato in Inghilterra? Ha trova- to il successo che cercava?”; “E Bobby dopo l’incidente della motocicletta che ci faceva nella Grande Casa Rosa?”; “Il Capitano Cuo- 42 re di Bue ha poi rincontrato il suo amico ita- colo, l’adoravano.

  • FRED NEIL LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    FRED NEIL LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Fred Neil (16 th March 1936 –7th July 2001) was one of the most compelling folk singer-songwriters in the 1960s and early 1970s. His marvellously deep, rich and impossibly low baritone enchanted everyone who has ever heard a Fred Neil song - and continues to do so. Surely one of the most beautiful voices in music. Bob Dylan said, “Fred had a strong, powerful voice, almost a bass voice, and a powerful sense of rhythm. He used to play mostly the type of songs that Josh White might sing. I used to sing and play harmonica for him, and then once in a while get to sing a song.” Yet as performer success eluded Fred, mainly because it was the last thing he pursued. A reluctance to tour didn’t help much either (a trait he shared with Bobby Charles and Harry Nilsson). According to his producer, Nik Venet, Fred was “probably the most famous and financially successful ‘cult artist’ in the history of the world...and could have been even bigger if he’d wanted to be....but he just didn’t!” Fred Neil showed up unexpectedly and was gone before you knew it. A loner and somewhat of a recluse, he was exceedingly hard to get to know and thus remained an enigma to most. John Sebastian, who played on his two Elektra albums, describes his background as “sketchy”. He is best known to the world through other people’s recordings of his material, such as ‘Everybody’s Talkin’’, made famous by Harry Nilsson as the theme to the movie Midnight Cowboy (and earned a Grammy) and ‘Other Side of This Life’, recorded by several but most notably by Jefferson Airplane.

    00:00:00 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:06 Oliver Wang Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:08 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, fire, combustibles, albums that bump eternally. Today we will be deep diving together into the cult classic 1971 album by Karen Dalton, In My Own Time. 00:00:24 Music Music “Take Me” off the album In My Own Time by Karen Dalton. Sad, slow music with crooning, raspy, vibrating vocals. Take me to your darkest room Close every window and lock every door [Music fades out as Morgan speaks.] 00:00:46 Morgan Host Turn to your neighbor and say, “I thank God I don’t look like what I’ve been through.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that over the years; and more than an acknowledgement of the virtue of melanin, it is meant to suggest that whatever else a close read of your backstory might reveal, pain doesn’t always show on your face. ‘Cause sometimes it shows up in your voice, as it did with Karen Dalton on her album for Paramount records, In My Own Time. Karen Dalton sounded like what she’d been through. Raspy world- weariness, longing and sadness, even on songs meant to be happy like Holland-Dozier’s “How Sweet It Is.” Karen Dalton did two things for sure on this album: uncovered pain on an album of covers, and spent those covers strumming her pain with her fingers, in blues, in folk, in gospel, and in rock.

  • 1 Karen Dalton. Née En 1937 Et Morte En 1993, Karen Dalton Était Une Artiste Américaine, Aux Origines Mi-Irlandaise, Mi-Chero
    Karen Dalton. Née en 1937 et morte en 1993, Karen Dalton était une artiste américaine, aux origines mi-irlandaise, mi-cherokee. Elle reste trop mal connue. Chanteuse de folk et de blues, guitariste talentueuse (elle utilisait une Gibson 12 cordes) et joueuse de banjo (le sien était particulièrement impressionnant puisqu'il comportait pas moins de 27 frettes), elle évolua sur la scène du Greenwich Village au début des années 1960, en particulier avec Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Bob Dylan ou encore les Holy Modal Rounders. Ecoutons-la sur YouTube dans quelques unes de ses chansons : « Sweet substitute » : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2iXuVgIesY « It hurts me too » : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0ZlWK-b_KY Karen n'était pas une compositrice, mais elle faisait sienne chaque chanson qu'elle reprenait. Sur ses deux albums, elle reprit des chansons de Paul Butterfield, Richard Manuel, Dino Valenti, Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Leadbelly, Jelly Roll Morton, George Jones, Richard Tucker aussi bien que des versions personnelles de folk traditionnels. Son timbre de voix, particulièrement bluesy, est souvent comparé à celui de la chanteuse de jazz Billie Holiday. La publicité du label Capitol pour son premier album le décrivait d'ailleurs comme « the folksinger's answer to Billie Holiday » (littéralement, "la réponse de la chanteuse de folk à Billie Holiday"). L'effroi que suscitait sur elle les studios d'enregistrement ainsi que sa claustrophobie firent qu'elle n'enregistra son premier album, produit par Nick Venet, It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best qu'en 1969.

A friend of Bob Dylan and praised by Nick Cave, Karen Dalton was one of the most amazing and moving voices of the 60s. The muse of Greenwich Village, Karen was adored by her peers yet remained relatively unknown to the general public. This exceptional musician's life has until now been shrouded in mystery, and she has become an almost mythical figure, and an icon, in both Swiss and international music circles. Through an 8,000-kilometer journey across the United States, from Colorado to Woodstock, New Orleans and New York, the director set out to shine a light on this elusive singer's life, to find those who knew her then and those she still influences today.
