Karen Jones (ST, year unknown), by request






This was requested by a folk fan some time ago, and looked interesting to me.  The ST album is listed here, presumably it's the first and thus hails from 1970, the other album from 1971, which looks worth acquiring too, but quite rare online.

The following heart-breaking blurb on the back:

Karen cares about each person around her.  A friend's happiness is as important to her as her own.  Personal relationships are the framework of her life.  Karen's music flows directly from her life with people.  Here are the songs she has chosen to sing for you.
--David McCallen

The overall feel is similar to the Paula Moore from earlier, but nowhere near as good.  It's for the most part straightforward folk with some added instrumentation in an easy listening vein.
She wrote half the songs here.  One she didn't pen is the Gray-Peterson track bearing her name:





Note that the LP is less than thirty minutes and thus way too short.

  2. I tend to like those completely naive folk efforts!

  3. Actually, this is her second album released in 1972, and it's not selftitled, just "Karen". Her first album, released the year before, was "People I Promised To Mention".

  5. Yes, album 1, thank you! I had made perhaps a futile effort to reach out to sp59 about her album 'Karen Jones-People I Promised To Mention'. :)
    Bless...
