Karen Dalton - In My Own Time (1971)

"In My Own Time" is the second and final studio album by Karen Dalton, released by Paramount Records in 1971. The album was produced by Harvey Brooks and was the last of Dalton's work to be released before her death in 1993.

Writing for AllMusic, Thom Jurek praised the album "a more polished effort than her cozy, somewhat more raw debut... If one can only possess one of Karen Dalton's albums, In My Own Time is the one. It creates a sound world that is simply unlike any other; it pushes the singer outside her comfort zone and therefore brings listeners to the place Dalton actually occupied as a singer. Without apology or concern for technique, she could make any song her own, creating a personal narrative that could reach outside the song itself, moving through her person and becoming the truth for the listener." 

Steven M. Deusner of Pitchfork Media wrote the album "reveals a demanding, intuitive, eccentric singer and arranger who never sang her own words but clearly and confidently expressed herself with others'."
