In her brief but spectacular career, Karen Dalton recorded a mere two albums and stayed away from the press. After passing away at 55, she was almost forgotten. But her biggest fans, including Bob Dylan, Nick Cave and filmmaker Wim Wenders (who produced this film), remember her well, her singular voice still in their hearts. A gifted singer-guitarist, Dalton was an unconventional star in the folk/blues scene of 1960s New York. In her shows, she mainly performed poetic and original renditions of famous hits. During the making of this film, as Cave, Dylan, and others confessed the significant influence Dalton had had on them, the filmmaker unearthed rare, previously unseen recordings of Dalton—including some original songs nobody knew had existed.
