Cotton Eyed Joe is a live album by American musician Karen Dalton recorded in October 1962, but not released until 2007, as a set of two CDs and a DVD.

Contents

At the time Dalton, her husband, and daughter lived in a shack in the Colorado mountains, without electricity or running water, and she would occasionally play at the Attic, a folk club in Boulder, Colorado. The album is a recording of a performance there, made by the club's co-proprietor and a friend of Dalton's, Joe Loop. [1]
