I'm only giving Casey 4 out of 5 for this one, just because Riff Raff has to be my all-time favorite given its punkier aspects. These later CDs "Casey Neill" and "Skree" are also lovely, moving me to tears on occasion. I just caught a live CD recording concert of the Casey Neill Trio and I promise you, you'll have more fun stuff to enjoy. Not only did Casey do a stirring cover of "I'm on Fire" but he also re-did some of his own tunes, showing his maturity as a person and a musician. Go ahead and stare, we are everywhere!

well, the mosh pit happened at the Free Arcata Festival, a gathering of activists, anarchists, political hippies (they still exist, yes), and the album that had just come out by Casey was "Riffraff" which has a more rockin' tempo than this one. I would describe his music as between Seeger and the Pogues, and have seen shows that he has played that pleased hippies and punks alike.

Whatever you call it, it's great!

Casey's music is more and more rooted in traditional folks styles of the Isles, but you can still hear the punk-rocker in some of his music.

An Earth First! movement original, Casey's music is challenging stuff - very emotional - and in some cases - very political in its willingness to confront power with song.
