Music reviews of Blacklisted (Original Recording Remastered)
Music Review: Neko's Masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
From the opening banjo-driven "Things That Scare Me" played over the verse of a child's fear of birds on wires, my ears perked up to all the possiblilites that country storytelling played on traditional instruments could still be. Even on lesser releases, Neko can always grab my attention on the lead track. "Deep Red Bells" follows, based on a true story of a serial killer of young girls. Her songwriting is superb here : "It looks a lot a lot like engine oil/and tastes like being poor and small/and popsicles in summer." The imagery is precise and perfect. She lets her enormous voice wrap around the chorus to insure this dark little story stays with us a long time.
The other tune that really grabbed me was "I Wish I Was The Moon". A very original idea that suddenly makes sense out of nonsense. "I'm so tired/I wish I was the moon tonight". What does it mean? Who cares? Somehow I found it instantly believable.
The idea of the story-song in popular music is not a new one. It simply hasn't been done this well in a long time. On "Blacklisted", Neko shows us that she has much more in common with the back-porch yearnings of Bobbie Gentry than the claptrap abstractions of singer/songwriter types such as Sarah Mclaughlin.
This is a smart, confident, precise exercise that holds up to many listens, songs about the things that go bump in the night, things that don't go away after childhood, as Neko obviously knows too well.

Description of Blacklisted (Original Recording Remastered)
More subdued than its predecessor (FURNACE ROOM LULLABY), Neko Case's 2002 album, BLACKLISTED, is the singer/songwriter's first outing not co-billed to "Her Boyfriends." Backed by a cadre of intuitive musicians that includes multi-instrumentalist Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino (both of Calexico) and their Giant Sand peer Howe Gelb (on various keys), Case offers up a largely down-tempo set that's steeped in a dreamy, noir-like atmosphere. The haunting "Deep Red Bells" masterfully showcases the range of Case's resonant voice, while "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)" evokes the cinematic mood of a vintage black-&-white thriller as narrated from the perspective of the femme fatale. Even BLACKLISTED's most upbeat moments--the soaring "Lady Pilot" and the twangy "Stinging Velvet"--carry a palpable sense of melancholy, resulting in a record that's in line with Nick Cave's dark aesthetic. (In fact, Case would go on to open for Cave on tour, and the two would become label-mates on Anti- with subsequent releases.) Arguably Case's most focused and consistent album, BLACKLISTED is the perfect portal into her gorgeously half-lit world.Alternative Rock CDs
