Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after my swim with Troubadour by Dorothy Carter, released on Celeste in 1976.

Stephen M. Deusner wrote for Pitchfork:

Dorothy Carter was in her early 40s when she recorded her largely instrumental, entirely entrancing album Troubadour. Although the 1976 release was her debut album, she had already lived many, many lives by then and enjoyed a storied career. An artist attracted to obscure, often unwieldy instruments, she studied music at Bard College and the Royal Academy of Arts, but it was a foregone conclusion that she would chafe at the rigidity of academia. She busked all over the world in search of new sounds and new inspirations, even spending a year at a convent in Mexico where she is said to have experienced epiphanic spiritual visions...

Waillee Waillee by Dorothy Carter, released in 1978 on Celeste.

Grayson Haver Currin wrote for Pitcfork:

"..The imaginative music she made with them has long been hidden away on 1978’s Waillee Waillee, a private-press gem coveted by crate diggers and Discogs hounds that has at long last been reissued, salvaged from nearly five decades of obscurity. It is the start of a loving and stepwise quest to get her prescient records—and her compelling story, in book form—into public view at last. A seamless hybrid of clarion folk arrangements and coruscant drones, Waillee Waillee functions as a signal flare for that effort, its strange permutations articulating the shapes that acoustic and new-age music would take together in the coming years. A beautiful, sad, and bemused record, Carter’s opus is a joy to behold, as alive and vital now as it was then..."
