I may be Doctor Rock, but I have other interests and that includes melodic country music. Neko Case has been around for awhile. She used to be a punk rock drummer before making it big doing guest vocals for The New Pornographers. Her solo career started in 1997, casting away the punk roots for alternative country.
You won’t find a better voice out there today. Once called the ghost of Patsy Cline, her voice compels the listener to follow her stories of friendship, faith, love, and jealousy. It’s real country.
To me, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood is one of two albums released in 2006 that keeps my listening over and over without skipping songs. For those of you that care, TV on the Radio’s Return to Cookie Mount is the other. The highlight for me is the opening track, Margaret vs. Pauline.
Get it here.
