She played at t Edmonton Folk Festival several years back, I was working the artists music and merch tent right beside the main stage when she was doing her sound check in the early afternoon. I got to watch a 20 minute mini concert all by myself, and she thanked me for staying to watch. Even while they were working to set levels, she sounded amazing.
Neko Case was in the audience at a book reading in Washington, around 2009 (?) I HAD to approach her and thank her for her music/ art. She was incredibly humble and kind. Always will be a huge fan of her work. Thank you, Neko!
i love this song so much, so much my sister always complains about how much she hears this song from my room and how she dislikes neko case because of me (cause shes a fake country fan) but neko case is a great song writer, AUTHOR!! and so much more, i will always look up to her, i love her so much.
When I first heard Neko in 2001 -- her stunning "Furnace Room Lullaby" used in the Cate Blanchett film "The Gift" -- I thought that her voice was too good to be true. The next year I got this album, "Blacklisted". This track in particular had me thinking again, no way, there has to be some studio trickery to make that sound. But here it is, live!
"A handprint on the driver's side It looks a lot like engine oil And tastes like being poor and small And popsicles in summer" Given what inspired this song . . . God, those lines pack a wallop.
Yeah, kinda like Bob Dylan: Great music and totally pretentious, cryptic and mostly nonsensical lyrics. I love Neko for her music; the lyrics I ignore.
Totally pretentious and non-sensical... sounds like the defect is more on your end, little buddy. I'm sure you could find a boy band, or maybe some lite pop rock, that wouldn't offend your delicate sensibilities
That's Kelly Hogan, also a solo musician in her own right. If you're lucky enough to catch her live with Neko, you'll find her a hilarious and engaging stage presence.

Neko Case & Kelly Hogan singing together is a beautiful thing
The chills, every time she hits that first chorus...
Frisson!
Man the dude on the slide doesn’t even play it full time and he’s one of the best I’ve seen. Unreal performance all around!
She always thanks the audience for appreciating her songs and I swear she always means it, for like 25 years

Incredible voice, it's like Patsy Cline mixed with Dolly Parton. So much soul.
There's a bit of Grace Slick in there dont overlook...
I really hear the timbre and influence of Wanda Jackson.
@@unwavery Oh my. Never made the connection before, but you are spot on. 🌻
I compare her to Maria Mckee
She sings into a high microphone like Lemmy Kilmister. I fucking love it. I love her. I love him. I love great music...

I read somewhere it was about the Green River Killer
@@ckuehncnwhsyt It’s almost like you have to interpret the words
@@andrewwetmore5729 it is
Love you Neko.....that voice is so FULL
God damn that woman can sing!
Ted Williams could bat pretty good too ;-)
Love your voice, earthy! 🌄
Simply beautiful
Loving the bell of the steel
Love your music!
Great song!
2:35, love that break.
Tom on bass kills it
“Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag”
I had no idea this song was about a serial killer. So much better knowing that.
2:57 this section hits me so hard
This is a song about the Green River serial killer. He was active in the area she grew up in.
About the oldest trope and truth, violence relentless against women.
I read that like a tear welling in the back of one eye, and then it socked me in the gut. You speak truth. Every day, that's one of the truest truths.
"For those like you, that lost their way murdered on the interstate..." Reminds me of wreckless drivers on Hwy not noticing someone in blind spot!
it's more much dark than that. You should check out the story behind the song :)
I heard it was about Ted Bundy, is that correct?
It's actually about Gary Ridgway
That's interesting, thanks.
Turn your speaker up to 11. She's already there.
Who are the others on the stage?
🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Savage go hey love always
Who is the woman doing the low harmonies?
That's Kelly Hogan, also a solo musician in her own right. If you're lucky enough to catch her live with Neko, you'll find her a hilarious and engaging stage presence.
Kelly Hogan, a goddess among mortals.
needs to be in a fallout game
deep red hair
Why camare man went far at end was such bad move
