It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best is the debut album by American folk blues musician Karen Dalton, originally released in 1969 by Capitol Records

The album was subsequently reissued on CD by the Koch label in 1997. Extended liner notes were written by Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders, who writes:

She was the only folk singer I ever met with an authentic 'folk' background. She came to the folk music scene under her own steam, as opposed to being 'discovered' and introduced to it by people already involved in it." - Wikipedia

The Holy Modal Rounders 2 is the second studio album by the folk duo the Holy Modal Rounders, released in 1965 through Prestige Records.

The Holy Modal Rounders 2 Review by Stewart Mason

...Like the musicians collected on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, the Holy Modal Rounders mixed traditional folk music and the artifacts of their particular circumstances (in their case, life among the junkies and freaks in post-Beat, pre-hippie Greenwich Village) into a unique and idiosyncratic blend that could have only come from these two people at this particular time. ...strangeness and mystery, along with raucous good humor, is at the heart of American folk music."
