Let these times show you that you're breaking up the lines

Thursday music corner: Karen Dalton (1937-93) was a gravel-voiced American folk singer-songwriter whose struggles with alcohol and drug addiction during her lifetime limited her commercial success, but whose reputation has only grown with time. She released two studio albums, 1969's It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best, and 1970's In My Own Time. Something On Your Mind was the opening track on the latter album, and was composed by Quicksilver Messenger Service singer Chet Powers under his stage name of Dino Valenti.
