Neko Case
Alternative country singer/songwriter Neko Case won a steadily growing cult audience for her smoky, sophisticated vocals and the downcast beauty of her music. Born in Alexandria, VA, Case moved around often as a child, spending the largest part of her youth in Tacoma, WA. She left her parents at age 15, and three years later she started playing drums for several bands around the Northwest's punk rock scene.

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.[ read more ]

Order and receive a FREE Neko Case MP3 sampler at checkout. Furnace Room Lullaby is even stronger and more impressive than her fine debut set, "The Virginian." Case cowrote all of the album's 12 songs, and the material strikes a more deeply personal note this time out. Case's vocals are superb from front to back, as smooth and fiery as good brandy, and her revolving circle of musicians are subtle and beautifully evocative, balancing sorrow and good times with an easy grace.

While the spare and often haunted sound of Neko Case's home-recorded Canadian Amp EP seemed at the time like a late-night detour from alt-country's leading songbird of the North, listening to Case's first full-length album following Canadian Amp suggests it may have been the first step along a new and different path for her. Blacklisted is a considerably darker and more understated affair than The Virginian or Furnace Room Lullaby, and its sometimes stark, sometimes elegant 3 a.m. so [ read more ]

Neko Case hasn't had much need to prove her credentials as a major artist since making her solo debut with 1997's The Virginian, but she's been refining her skills in the recording studio on each subsequent release, and with 2006's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood she's fashioned an album that can cautiously be called a masterpiece. As always, Case's voice, an instrument of impressive strength, grace, and expressive power, is the star of this show, and she's never sounded better than she does here [ read more ]
