Reissue CDs Weekly: Karen Black - Dreaming Of You (1971-1976)
Marvellous collection of the actor’s previously unknown recordings

Karen Black’s connection with music was never hidden. In Robert Altman’s 1975 film
Nashville she played a country singer. In 1970’s
Five Easy Pieces she was a would-be country singer. In
Nashville, two of the songs she sang were self-penned.
She also dueted with Kris Kristofferson in 1972’s
Cisco Pike.
Hollywood logic usually dictates that an actor with musical inclinations – however shaky – issues a record. Hence releases by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Peggy Lipton, Annette Funicello and a million more. Yet nothing from the evidently musically capable Karen Black. (In 1965, there had been one single: a stage play spin-off)
