 Country Music Article - Neko Case comes alive as "The Tigers Have Spoken", January 2005
Case's original intention was to decamp with The Sadies and write an entire album's worth of new songs for "The Tigers Have Spoken," but the band was in the midst of working up their own new album ("Favourite Colours" on Yep Roc), and the time required to collaborate never became available.
In 1997, Case released her first solo album, "The Virginian," a foray into straight country with a familiar and well-balanced blend of covers and original songs.
A new Corn Sisters album could be in the offing at some point and as Carl Newman's recent solo activity winds down, Case is awaiting word on a possible recording schedule for the next New Pornographers album.

 Neko Case : Blacklisted - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Blacklisted is a considerably darker and more understated affair than The Virginian or Furnace Room Lullaby, and its sometimes stark, sometimes elegant 3 a.m.
Which isn't to say Blacklisted is a total departure for Neko Case; her big, bold, but silky smooth voice is still a thing of beauty, and if anything, she's still learning more remarkable things she can do with it, with the result being some of her finest and most insightful performances to date.
And Case continues to grow as a songwriter; penning most of the album all by herself, Case is a lyricist willing to answer to both her heart and her head, and she had a fine ear for a melody to boot.

 Nude as the News: Neko Case: Blacklisted
The album marks a huge step for Case, a well-traveled musician who didn't start playing music until she was 18.
Her first album, The Virginian, was a solid-if-not-unspectacular debut consisting a few gems ("Lonely Old Lies") as well as a few rough spots ("High On Cruel").
Much of the album consisted of predictable cover tunes, as it was clear Case was still learning her trade.

 Cincinnati CityBeat : 06/15/2005 : The Great Live North
Case's burgeoning and much lauded Alt.Country solo career keeps her in the studio and on the road, her membership in the Corn Sisters is an interesting old-time music diversion and her involvement in the Pop majesty of Carl Newman's New Pornographers is another stellar entry on an already impressive résumé.
In 1997, Case released her first solo album, The Virginian, a foray into straight Country with a well-balanced blend of covers and original songs.

 Amazon.com: The Virginian: Music: Neko Case & Her Boyfriends   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This album is rather like stepping back into a time warp, when music had twang and women had attitude.
This is an album of pure, unadulterated, pretty good girl barroom funm, smart mouthed and big shouldered--in that way she is more akin to Loretta Lynn as opposed to Patsy Cline.
This debut album (yeah, it's still called an 'album' even if you buy it on CD) is and always will be, in my humble opinion, a classic slab of the meanest, most sincere and well played music you will find.

 Eye Weekly - Live eye - 11.02.00
As well as her justifiably famous cover of "Bowling Green" (from her first album, The Virginian), she covered most of the highlights of her brilliant follow-up, Furnace Room Lullaby -- "Guided by Wire," "Porchlight," the mesmerizing "No Need to Cry" -- and threw in some new material that sounded equally strong.
But now that she's capable of making the jump to bigger venues, she should be able to solidify a truly ass-kicking band.
Bryson's album Jim Bryson and the Occasionals is one of the best of the year, and with every single song a fucking gem, played respectfully by an all-star band, he had little trouble winning over an audience waiting to see the Cash Brothers.

 Clearly defiant, unclearly defined / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
For many twangy young singer/songwriters, the alt-country label is a badge of honor.
With the release of Case's first celebrated solo album, The Virginian (Mint, 1997), she was so branded, frequently painted as a saucy poster child for the nuevo-genre.
All of this makes it easy to wrongly view the title to Case's new album as an allusion to her much-publicized breach of decorum at a lawn party last year outside Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.
