{"product_id":"karen-dalton-shuckin-sugar-lp-sky-blue","title":"Karen Dalton \"Shuckin' Sugar\" LP (Sky Blue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1962, Karen summoned Richard Tucker to join her in Colorado, extolling the healthier lifestyle and plentiful gigs at Boulder folk club The Attic. Upon his arrival, the pair solidified their personal and professional relationship, riding horses in the mountains and performing as a duo at parties and venues throughout Denver and Boulder. Stories of the spell they conjured – and rumours of tapes! – have circulated among friends and musicians who witnessed them, but until now, no recorded evidence had turned up. Shuckin’ Sugar is the glorious result of three reel-to-reel tapes that miraculously found their way to us in November, 2018, which featured two complete shows from The Attic in January 1963 and a benefit concert for The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) recorded the following February. Their gigs would often include brief solo sets from Karen and Richard in addition to the duets, and all seven solo songs of Karen’s found on the three reels are included here as well as five duets, sequenced as close to how it all went down as humanly possible. To describe the record would take a poet, but all I can say is that unveiling a missing chapter in the Karen Dalton story – with six songs we’ve never heard her sing before – is cause for celebration in Delmore’s world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“From her opening, jaw-dropping lift-off with early blues standard “Trouble In Mind,” the unique otherworld Karen conjured springs into vivid life. Playing to audiences inevitably bound to the era’s formalities and traditions, Karen instinctively pushed the envelope, straying into uncharted territory beyond the established borders. She must have bewildered many who came to see her in those winsome Peter, Paul and Mary times.\" - from the liner notes by Kris Needs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously unreleased Karen Dalton performance featuring seven never-before-heard songs\u003cbr\u003eLimited pressing on \"Sky Blue\" colored vinyl\u003cbr\u003eOld style, Tip-On Jacket, and 8pp heavy insert featuring a treasure trove of newly discovered photos \u0026amp; a 6,000 word essay by Kris Needs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Trouble In Mind\u003cbr\u003e2 If You're A Viper\u003cbr\u003e3 When First Unto This Country\u003cbr\u003e4 Shiloh Town\u003cbr\u003e5 Shuckin' Sugar Blues\u003cbr\u003e6 Everytime I Think Of Freedom\u003cbr\u003e8 Ribbon Bow\u003cbr\u003e9 Blues Jumped The Rabbit\u003cbr\u003e10 Lonesome Valley\u003cbr\u003e11 When I Get Home\u003cbr\u003e12 In The Pines\u003cbr\u003e13 Katie Cruel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light In The Attic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45163049910472,"sku":"826853453523","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/826853453523_974x_4bfb964a-62ef-4273-8405-6840a42d404d.webp?v=1785958351","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/karen-dalton-shuckin-sugar-lp-sky-blue","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
