Description of The Virginian
Before being crowned an alt country goddess, NekoCase was familiar to Mint fans from her drummin
thunder in Maow. Here, she stepped out from behind
the kit and into the spotlight to release 12 amazing
songs that stretch from out n out hillbilly stompers to
Loretta Lynn-like lovesick ballads. And, she collected
a jamboree of indie rock and bluegrass legends as her
backing band, including Brian Connelly (Shadowy Men
on a Shadowy Planet), Matt Murphy (Superfriendz),
Carl Newman (Zumpano, Superconductor, New
Pornographers), Rose Melberg (The Softies, Tiger Trap),
and Beez (Smugglers), among others.
What Neko Case lacks in polish and subtlety, she more than makes up for with urgency, authority, and plain, old spunk. Her irresistible originals blend twangy hooks, direct lyrics, and an implied, rather than explicit edge. Stark, brooding weepers such as "Jettison" and "Lonely Old Lies" accompany the perky country-pop of "High on Cruel" and the mysterious anti- gospel of the title track. She adds these originals to covers that range from the Everly Brothers, Ernest Tubb, and Loretta Lynn to Scott Walker and Queen. All the while, steel guitars and mandolins softly accent the proceedings. Much of what?s dubbed alternative country is simply alt-rock with country instruments or country music played at high decibels. Case & Her Boyfriends actually create a true fusion of styles. --Marc Greilsamer
