Blacklisted

Neko has The Voice, rough around the edges but possessing a formidable strength and range, that causes critics and fans to swoon. 'Blacklisted,' her third CD, is a lush, haunting showcase for her formidable vocal talents, as well as an intensely intimate work that evokes a dark elegance with a hint of twang.

To help create this record Neko brought together a grand cast of scarily talented musicians. Among them are Calexico, Howe Gelb, Kelly Hogan, and members of the Sadies. Together they forged an album that is cinematic in scope and full of unsettling vulnerability that envelopes the listener. Neko’s voice soars and swirls, moving from a sultry smokiness to joyful harmony.
