AMG Review of Man with the Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar

Brian Beatty
All Music Guide

Exceptional songs and musical guests, including Ry Cooder and members of Los Lobos and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, make this pricey import CD of Peter Case's second solo release a worthwhile purchase, especially for serious collectors and fans. Favorites "Travelin' Light," "Two Angels," and "Put Down the Gun" first appeared on this 1989 album. Unfortunately, for its considerable cost, the 2001 international reissue doesn't include any unreleased tunes or packaging surprises.
