From Uncut:
Quote:
A new 3xLP + 3xCD box set, The Karen Dalton Archives, will be released in March 2020 on Megaphone.
It features three hours of the folk singer's recordings from the early 1960s, including the 1962 live album Cotton Eyed Joe and the 1963 home-recorded album Green Rocky Road for the first time on vinyl.
The package also includes a 56-page 12" book featuring the testimonies of friends and reproductions of Dalton's own archives of music, photos and words.
Hear Karen Dalton's version of Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" here.

This was actually announced almost two years ago! Some descriptions say there are actually four CDs:
Cotton Eyed Joe (double),
Green Rocky Road, and a fourth of "unreleased home recordings" (that's where you find the Billie Holiday cover). PLUS a DVD "of a film interview of Greenwich Village Folklore Center founder Izzy Young".
PLUS a "large T-shirt" (no, seriously, check the description on Amazon). The cover makes me think there's no DVD nor, um, apparel, and that the CDs, whether 3 or 4, cover all the sonic ground mentioned in this paragraph. [
Sigh.]
