Product Description
From Amazon.com
Nine seconds into her first studio album since 2002's Blacklisted, and there it is. You can't miss it. The voice. Instantly recognizable and uniquely commanding, it has been uniformly overlooked by the masses and beloved by those who have caught on. And, believe it or not, it gets even better, whether Neko Case is warbling like a porch-swing neighbor to Loretta Lynn ("Margaret vs. Paulene," "John Saw That Number"), pontificating from the spiritual pulpit of Etta James ("Lion's Jaws," "Maybe Sparrow"), or unleashing the high-octane zeal of a power-pop spitfire ("Hold On Hold On," "The Needle Has Landed"). Her uncanny, often eccentric lyrics have always been delivered with an inherent passion behind the impulse, but rarely have they approached the boldness of these dozen--many of which were inspired by generations of tales from her Ukrainian ancestors. As usual, Case's industry running buddies collaborate to make the sounds behind her, from Calexico to Howe Gelb of Giant Sand to the Band's renowned Garth Hudson. Still, it all comes back to the voice, that serenading urgency that asks in the title song, "How can people not know what beauty this is?" Yes, there are some to ask, how not? --Scott Holter

Twin Peaks Revisited!,

This review is from: Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (Audio CD)
Not sure about what the other reviews are saying but for me this is so special. It's like at the roadhouse in Twin Peaks and Juliee Cruise just got off stage and what is next on is this, it has that lost in time sound that is so hard to place. So in my imagination this would be it the follow up to Juliee. There is this total 1950's sound to this that makes it very unique. A very worthwhile disc to check out if wanting something a little on the edge. It also reminds me of Mary Margaret O'Hara as well which is a good thing.

neko's unique voice and songwriting really standout on this album.. highly recommend it for anyone needing a breath of fresh air from the current state of mainstream musici saw her perform 2 songs at sasquatch festival this year in washington.. but if anyone followed that festival the gorge had the first ever hailstorm and it ended neko's set :( so i do wanna see her again.... check it out here..

By VF (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (Audio CD)
... as per my title... this is music. Not that garbage I hear all the time on the pop 40 stations, or even the mainstream stuff that clogs my brain all the time with crud... buy this. And listen to it, over and over and over again.... everytime I listen to this cd, this voice, I find new meaning in "music".
