Contents: Margaret vs. Pauline -- Star witness -- Hold on, hold on -- A widow's toast -- That teenage feeling -- Fox confessor brings the flood -- John saw that number -- Dirty knife -- Lion's jaws -- Maybe sparrow -- At last -- The needle has landed.
Eric R. Danton placed this album at #2 on his list of most-listened-to CDs for 2006, and wrote: "Eastern European folk imagery and tremulous guitars prove a potent mix as Case sings in a voice that all but stops time. Her songwriting reaches new heights on this collection of noir-ish Americana tunes, and some of her vocal harmonies are downright shattering" (12/28/06).
Other CDs on Eric Danton's list to be found in our collection: #1, The Hold Steady, Boys and Girls in America; #5, Cat Power, The Greatest; #7, Arctic Monkeys, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not; #8, Gnarls Barkley, St. Elsewhere; #9, Art Brut, Bang Bang Rock & Roll; #10, The Flaming Lips, At War with the Mystics; honorable mention: Scritti Politti, White Bread Black Beer; Neil Young, Living with War.
