Lacy J. Dalton (born Jill Lynne Byrem on October 13, 1946) is an American country singer and songwriter.
Dalton is known for her gritty, powerful vocals, which People Magazine likened to a country equivalent to Bonnie Raitt.
Dalton had a number of hits in the 1980s, including “Takin’ It Easy,” “Crazy Blue Eyes” and “16th Avenue.” Though absent from the U.S. country charts since 1990, she still continues to record and perform, having most recently released three independently recorded albums, Wild Horse Crossing on Shop Records in 1999; The Last Wild Place, on Song Dog Records in 2004.
