Biography

There's a special challenge to being an artist in this increasingly fractured cultural age; a delicate balancing act, between being of your time, and striving for timelessness. Few contemporary artists even try. Neko Case is an exception.

Case's last album, 2006's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, brought her to that nexus where critical acclaim meets commercial success. But ... Read more in Amazon's Neko Case Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Live 23 Nov 2004
Format:Audio CD
If you already know NEKO CASE but are wondering if you need a live album by her - the answer is yes. This is not a 'Greatest Hits' live package at all - 2 new originals ('If you knew what I knew' sounds like a bouncy lost 60's classic & 'The tigers have spoken' is an odd, sad guitar jangler) are up there with her best work.

The covers heavy nature of the set shouldn't put you off either as none are especially well known (save the traditional 'Wayfaring stranger' which is only partially live and very lovely and lonely)

Buffy Saint Maries 'Soulful shade of blue' suits Nekos BIG but controlled voice perfectly and the girl group shimmy of 'Train from Kansas city' shows off the Sadies excellent indie/country/60's pop guitar sound as well as backing vocals from, among others, the Alt Country goddess Carolyn Mark.

It's short and punchy and mostly very beguiling - not at all like the standard live album (not an extended guitar jam in site)
With rollicking good time tunes ('Loretta' is like a very up beat version of the Velvet Underground and 'Rated X' is what I believe we used to call CowPunk)

The next album is bound to be a belter and is coming soon but in the meantime this is a very welcome stop gap indeed

5.0 out of 5 stars Neko and the Sadies are on fire 2 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
As good as her noirish ballads are, I've always preferred the songs on which Neko Case just lets go and belts it out with all she's got, like "Bowling Green," "Misfire," and "Honky Tonk Hiccups" on "The Virginian," "Guided by Wire" on "Furnace Room Lullaby," and "Stinging Velvet" on "Blacklisted." So it's understandable that I love this live album, with its sizzling covers of the Nervous Eaters' "Loretta," Buffy Saint-Marie's "Soulful Shade of Blue," Loretta Lynn's "Rated X," plus the newly penned "If You Knew." All this in addition to the sultry waltz "Hex," among other slower tunes. (For my money, though, the standout track is her cover of the Shangri-Las' "Train from Kansas City," on which she positively channels Petula Clark and takes us back 40 years without missing a beat.)

And it's not just Neko. The Sadies turn in a virtuoso performance as her backing band (check out the snare on "Train" and the guitars on "Loretta"), and Kelly Hogan and Carolyn Mark on harmonies make what would have been great performances anyway simply sublime. I'd really love to hear a studio album from this lineup.

Yes, "The Tigers Have Spoken" is kind of short. Yes, it's covers-heavy. Yes, it's a little muddy. But these are such great performances it simply doesn't matter. This is truly one of those live albums that stands alongside, if not surpasses, the artist's studio work.

Everything Neko Case does is OK with me. Wonerful voice and greta songs. I'll soon buy some more like this.
