What else sounds like this? Did it have a name?

I've been mesmerized by Karen Dalton's LP "In My Own Time" lately - both by her voice, and by her band. What else should I be listening to?
I've heard traces of this early 70s mix of country, soul, and rock before, but now I really want to hear more. Who else sounds like this? Did this sound have a name at the time? It feels like it came specifically from that particular era.

Great album. I second greta especially on Sibylle Baier, though be aware there's a little more melancholy present in her songs than Karen Dalton. Angel Olsen is also reviving this soulful country aesthetic. Also check out Josephine Foster.

From the 70s maybe David Ackles (Down River), Vashti Bunyan (Come Wind Come Rain), Tim Hardin (Reason to Believe) Kevin Ayers (Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes), Fred Neil (I've Got a Secret), Tim Buckley (Buzzin Fly). More recently perhaps Beth Orton (I wish I never Saw the Sunshine), Joanna Newsom (Inflammatory Writ), Joan as Police Woman (The Ride)

I think you might like Iris Dement although her stuff is more country.
