The Sampler for Tuesday 17 April 2012

Troy Ferguson reviews a recently discovered recording from 1966 of the late great Karen Dalton, recorded in a cabin in the wilds. Also, we check out Time To Go, a collection of early Flying Nun records that compiler Bruce Russell calls “the Southern Psychedelic Moment” of the early 1980s; and current folk psychedelia represented by the mathematically-skewed Mike Wexler.
