Karen Black and Cass McCombs

I've been a big fan of Karen Black for years, the actress popping up in literally hundreds of films during her career since the '60s, and i never realized she was also a poet and singer.  The good folks at Anthology Recordings, along with Black's husband and singer/songwriter Cass McCombs have seen fit to comb through old tapes and reels for a compilation of Black's songs.  Included are two tracks written and performed by McCombs and Black before her death in 2013.  It's a really cool collection of Americana, folk, and psych-tinged daydreams.  Check out "I Wish I Knew the Man I Thought You Were" below and get the "Dreaming of You (1971-1976)" LP here.
