She also says that she'll be trying out the new material at these live performances, so they are definitely not to be missed! Eric Bachmann, playing solo instead of with his band Crooked Fingers, will open all the shows. FRI 1 /25 - TARRYTOWN , NY MUSIC HALL

Excellent song. The cinematic feel of this is really intoxicating, evoking a scene of watching a steam locomotive in the distance, and being enticed to board it—wondering where it’s going—much in the Kerouac spirit of discovering one’s destiny of being alone on the road to a brand new identity. Slow down fast train…you look so enticing…to take me away from this dreadful life…... MORE

The other night when I was DJing I got in a conversation with the sound man about other great music. We were talking a lot about Bruce Springsteen, then about early Bob Seger, and then he was all like, have you heard Neko Case. I said no, and he said, well you should. And honestly? He was so right. Listening to Neko is a bit like "Oh, so that is what I really wish I sounded like when I sing." Yeah. Her voice is a pretty special. The only think that could make i... MORE

Top spot in my heebee-geebee list goes to Neko Case’s _Hold On, Hold On_. The pitch black heart of an artful, tuneful, and downright beautiful country rock album, Fox Confessor Brings The Flood.
The song narrowly beat out the entire back catalogue of Antony Johnson, the possessor of a voice so heart-sinkingly mournful that I’ve yet to find the right time of day, or indeed, year to listen to him properly. Sadly he was just _too_ disturbing.
_Hold On, Hold On_ depicts... MORE

One of my favorite tracks on Neko's "Live from Austin, TX" recording; it also appears on "The Tigers Have Spoken". Fall under the spell!

“I need a cup of tea.” Neko Case had just jumped into a car taking her to soundcheck for her Chicago show Wednesday afternoon and was yawning her way through an interview. Over a year after “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood,” her fifth and best selling album, was released, Case remains on the road supporting that disc, which was among the best reviewed records of 2006.
Was she surprised by the way the record was received? “Well, yeah, definitely,” Case said. “Yo... MORE
