Chanteuse Country US née Jill Byrem, le 13
Octobre 1948 à Bloomsburg (Pennsylvanie).
Eclectic and bluesy,
Lacy J. Dalton was one of the most distinctive female country singers of the
'80s, landing a few hits on the strength of her gritty, nuanced Vocals. Dalton
was born Jill Byrem in Bloomsburg, PA, in 1948 and grew up in a highly musical
family; her first loves were folkies like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, but she also
soaked up country music through her father. She briefly attended Brigham Young
University but dropped out and drifted around the country for a time; she
eventually went to Los Angeles, then migrated to Santa Cruz, where she performed
as a protest-oriented folksinger. During the late '60s, she sang with a Bay Area
psychedelic rock band called Office; she also became Jill Croston when she
married the group's manager, though, sadly, he died in a swimming pool accident.
She went on to reinvent herself as a country performer, adopting the stage name
Lacy J. Dalton, and landed a deal with CBS when producer Billy Sherrill heard
her demo tape in 1979. Her Top 20 debut single, "Crazy Blue Eyes," helped her
win the CMA's Best New Artist Award, and she scored an impressive run of hits
over the next three years, highlighted by "Hard Times," "Tennessee Waltz," "Hillbilly
Girl with the Blues," the number two smash "Takin' It Easy," "16th Avenue," and
"Everybody Makes Mistakes" (all but "Tennessee Waltz" made the Top Ten).
Dalton's albums also received strong reviews for their adventurous, borderless
taste in material, particularly her self-titled debut. A 1983 cover of
Roy Orbison's "Dream
Baby (How Long Must I Dream)" was her final Top Ten entry, but she continued to
record for CBS through 1987; part of her commercial slide was due to her
ambitious stylistic shifts, as she devoted attention to rock-oriented material
(1986's Highway Diner, whose "Working Class Man" was a decent-sized hit), blues,
and bluegrass. She subsequently departed for Capitol, where she recorded four
albums through 1992. In 1999, she assembled the Wild Horse Crossing compilation,
which featured several new tracks of her own and was released by her own Let 'Em
Run foundation, which worked to preserve the wild horses of the west.
