Before you go assuming...no, Neko Case is NOT rockabilly. I'm not sure how categorize her, other than maybe alternative country. I first heard Neko Case by chance when she opened for Big Sandy many many moons ago (at least 10 years ago) at the Casbah when I was in town from Chicago visiting family for the holidays. She blew me away. However, her name always stuck in my head, even though I didn't listen to her music as much as I would have liked to. It wasn't until a few years ago when a friend from Chicago and I were talking right before I moved back about how she and the guy she liked would sit for hours and listen to Neko Case albums. It got me intrigued to listen to her again. So I brought her up on Youtube and rediscovered one my most favorite singers. Her voice can make even the strongest of the strong swoon.
My personal favorite song is a toss up between "Furnace Room Lullaby", "Maybe Sparrow" or this little duet with another favorite of mine, Nick Cave, which was originally by the Zombies...
Currently residing in sunny San Diego with my boyfriend, Derek and my 2 Boston Terriers, Hugo & Frankie. My life drifted away from being the vintage aficionado that I once was, but I'm back. And I'd like to share my love of vintage clothing, decore, music, friends, my dogs, and life with you.
