Remembering Mountains includes some of the best female artists around, at least Josh Rosenthal's (from the Tompkins Square label) favourites, in their versions of lost Karen Dalton songs.
A few years ago, Rosenthal released the book Karen Dalton: Songs, Poems and Writings, which together with excerpts from her diaries featured some handwritten lyrics and songs she never recorded, songs which now become the core of this new tribute album, Josh Rosenthal managed to put together by assembling some of his favourite artists and their interpratations of the songs.
Sharon Van Etten's title track is the first one to surface thanks to Stereogum...
