Over the past few years, Case has been making a name for herself in both indie rock and country circles as a solo artist and as a member of The New Pornographers. On this record, she's backed by a full band featuring The Sadies and steel guitar whiz Jon Rauhouse. Her majestic yet sublime singing voice, her poetic songwriting, and her musical vision, which reconstructs a century's worth of American music, has won her acclaim from all quarters.
