Dayle is a Joan Baez type from Boston .
She topped Broadside magazine's best of local list the year this record came out.
She would be merely a typical strident folkie,
except that Dayle decided to insert a freaky cross between a yodel
and a rolled 'r' in half her songs.
This makes her the female answer to Robbie Basho
(who is definitely one of the hottest howlers),
except that she only has two albums (this is the first one from 1963).

What a great find. I think this record still resides someplace in my parent's attic. I really should look for it and try to get it online. Many nights spent listening to this in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI think her version of Shenandoah is the best ever!
I am searching for this album and still no trace of it except for yhe very expensive lp's . Is this stuff really never digitally remastered and released on CDS
