 Peter Case - Biography - AOL Music
After disbanding the Los Angeles new wave/power pop group the Plimsouls, Peter Case launched a career as an important American singer/songwriter specializing in the flat-pick guitar style and semi-autobiographical stories of drifters delivered in a narrative style.
Case was among a handful of rockers who had been honing his acoustic songs in clubs, helping to launch the so-called "unplugged" movement.
In 2004, Case celebrated twenty years as a solo artist (and ten years with Vanguard Records) with the release of the compilation Who's Gonna Go Your Crooked Mile, which featured highlights from his Vanguard catalog as well as three new recordings.

 CD Review: Peter Case's 'Beeline' - Arts
Case says that as a solo artist he is less held-back, and thinks his best work has been what he has made since 1984, the date of the group's dispersal.
Case's vocals and acoustic guitar dominates the music, as well as bringing in the occasional elements of harmonica, drum and computer generated notes.
In the song, Case, by way of his lyrics, quietly visits the places and moments that continue to reemerge in life, weaving a narrative of the person he is addressing.

 MetroActive Music | Peter Case
The twisted journey Case has taken is capsulized on one of his new songs, "Crooked Mile," a song that touches on his early stops in New York and California and the salvation he eventually found in Christianity.
While Case's five previous solo albums have all had their moments--1995's Torn Again and 1989's The Man with The Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar are particularly strong--Full Service, No Waiting is filled with some of the most affecting songs of Case's solo career.
Although Case is now pursuing his solo career full-time, he did take time out a couple of years ago to revisit the Plimsouls experience, re-forming the band, doing some touring, and recording a CD called Trash.

 Peter Case Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Case will be performing as part of a two-week East Coast swing, but he originally intended to be on the road for a month before he injured his back while in the studio, an injury that has turned out to be a torn nerve.
Case appeared to be having a great time in the band setting, so a repeat performance is on tap.“This time will be more electric, like at the Sportsmen’s, and less acoustic (Case, Whitford and Winsick will be joined by Rob Lynch on drums).
Indeed, a Peter Case tribute CD featuring 45 performances of his songs will soon be released by the non-profit Hungry for Music organization, which is just another part of Case’s recent activity.

 Rockzilla.net Peter Case "Beeline" by William Michael Smith
Peter Case, "The Man With The Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar," has always had a case of the mystic blues.
Case follows with "Lost in the Sky," where he assembles a tense, quirky rhythm texture as he is "lifted off in New York/quarter to nine." Despite the possibilities, this is not a commentary on 9/11, but is rather a very personal evaluation of values, priorities, and beliefs.
Case masterfully steers back and forth between quiet folky tunes to groovy funk, giving the album a surprising cohesion rather than what could have ended up as a sense of jumping around.

Peter Case emerged from the punk-pop band The Plimsouls with a startlingly different focus.
His songs kept their rock edge, but became fuller, almost cinematic in scope, and the country blues he'd mastered at the start of his career found fullest expression in his gruff, nasal voice and powerhouse acoustic guitar.
Peter's work is always first rate, but some of his efforts right after "....Blue Guitar" tended to obscure his real talents at offering up a tasty slice of the full American pie.

Peter Case's eighth solo record finds the former Plimsouls power pop guy turned folk-blues troubadour exploring some new sonic textures.
While it's nice to hear Case and longtime producer Andrew Williams take some chances, Case is still at his best when he sticks to the tried and true as on "I Hear Your Voice" and "Gone." Those songs feature pretty melodies and just a couple of acoustic guitars playing off each other.
Case also offers a terrific cover of kindred spirit Townes Van Zandt's "Ain't Leaving Your Love." And "Manana Champeen" is one of the more straightforward pop songs Case has done in awhile.

The lineup is notable for the presence of the artist's son, Joshua Case, who contributes competent guitar parts and a few superfluous electronic effects.
Fans of Case's captivating live shows have asked for this 13-song collection for years: It features rearranged acoustic versions of some of his most memorable songs, recorded in the stripped-down format in which he customarily bangs them out on the road hundreds of nights a year.
A gifted songwriter whose lyrics paint sometimes witty, often poignant portraits of characters often unaware of how their lives have gone wrong, Freedy Johnston seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the early '90s and quickly established himself as one of the most acclaimed new singer/songwriters of the day.

 Rockzillaworld Peter Case "Who's Gonna Go Your Crooked Mile" By Mike Sheahan
He's been a Nerve, a Plimsoul and a solo artist but Peter Case's nearly three decade long career has never been more succinct than in the last ten years.
In the mid-nineties Peter Case began releasing records for the Vanguard label and embarked on what is arguably the most creative and musically consistent phase of his long career.
Case simultaneously chastises our apathy ("We try to stay cool and look like we care" while "satellites are watching you from outer space") as he gives props to those who got it right before.

But even back then there was reason to believe that Case was capable of more; the most notable evidence of this was "A Million Miles Away," a melodic, romantic rocker of heartbreaking urgency.
Even more enigmatic is "Walk in the Woods," a haunting, folkie number in which Case trails a number of characters who head off for a stroll only to be claimed by some unnamed fate.
From the ominous lyrical tone, you'd think Peter Case would be pretty bleak going, but the record's harmonica-laden swamp sound and Case's impassioned vocals provide an uplifting musical balance to the pervasively downbeat subject matter.
