Light In The Attic US Vinilo y CD

Review: Karen Dalton is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic but also influential artists of her time. Her 1971 album In My Own Time is a real masterpiece that Light In The Attic now presented on newly mastered vinyl. It was originally recorded over a six month time frame at Bearsville and was crafted by producer and musician Harvey Brooks, a key figure in rock-jazz having worked on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited and Miles' Bitches Brew. It's a wild and vivid record with walking basslines and manic melodies topped off with the expressive vocals.

Review: Reissued again (following an initial 2009 run) via Light In The Attic, It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You The Best is the debut album by American folk blues musician Karen Dalton, originally released in 1969 by Capitol Records. The Native American singer made her mark on the seventies folk scene through a distinctly yearning sound, evoked through an unmistakable, tremolo'ing alto. On the album, her voice, exemplary of this, effortlessly pokes out from each quiet miasma of guitar, a template soon to be fleshed out by latter-day chart-toppers such as Lacy J. Dalton (whose name is a tribute) and Bob Dylan. Covering classics by Lead Belly, Fred Neil, and Tim Hardin, this is tender, one-of-a-kind country folk, with this edition coming as an all-analog version featuring remastered audio from the original Capitol masters.

Review: Continuing with LITA's extensive reissuing and repackaging of Haruomi Hosono's massive backlog of music, 'Hosono House' comes in all its glory to a new wax pressing. Released in 1973, it was one of Hosono's many brief forays into acoustic Americana, breaking from the loopy ambient classical music he'd made his name for. An ebber and flower, this one moves through psychic rock inspirations and sonic allusions to historic acts such as The Band and The United States Of America, albeit with an additional, moody ambient flair. We love oddities like this.

Review: This is the standard black version of Light In The Attic's comprehensive Nancy Sinatra compilation and it comes with a booklet featuring further detail on the great vocalist's finest tunes from her most celebrated period. The label has been properly dedicated to her musical legacy of having put out a slew of great reissues and giving them all the full treatment they deserve. Keep Walkin': Singles Demos & Rarities 1965-1978 is the in their quest to bring some further deserving spotlight on her catalogue.

Review: Since Light In The Attic embarked on its comprehensive Nancy Sinatra Archival Series, it has done wondrous justice to the towering career of the American popular singer. But the work isn't done yet, and the latest chipping-away at the cinderblock comes in the form of a reissue (surprisingly not ever reissued before) of Nancy & Lee Again, her second trailblazing duet album with Lee Hazlewood. Haunting, nostalgic and full of sunned takes on a marriage, splits, lost jobs and general social tumult - the stories are narrated by Hazlewood in his best gruff voice - the overall tone of this album could be said to be predictive of shoegaze, as it is generously doused in reverb, but the similarity ends there. Sinatra's stark Americana influences are most obvious; they shine through on the use of sublime slide guitar ('Did You Ever'), skiffling ¾ metres, and twangy banjo fingerstylings.

Review: Light In The Attic made clear they were in for the long haul when opening up on Nancy Sinatra's musical legacy, and of course a significant part of that is her work with Lee Hazlewood. Presented as another part of this committed effort to bring overdue credit to Sinatra's work, we're treated to the first ever vinyl reissue of Sinatra and Hazlewood's 1972 album Nancy & Lee Again. There is just so much gold bedded into these songs, not least the Dolly Parton-penned 'Down From Dover' and the dreamy, psychedelic lilt of 'Tippy Toes', and there's even two bonus tracks in the form of 'Machine Gun Kelly' and 'Think I'm Coming Down'.
