This review is from: Peter Case (Audio CD)

I bought this LP back in '86 when it came out, and pretty much wore the grooves out on the record. Case is one of the great, mostly unknown songwriters we've got. I finally broke down and bought the CD recently, and still sounds as good as it did 15 years ago. This is stronger than his later work. This guy was doing alt country before the genre even existed. He draws on the feel of Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams. It's largely an acoustic affair, but he's got the guitars firmly plugged in and turned up loud and clear, and for someone who smokes cigarettes while playing live, he's got plenty of lung power to wail away on the harmonica throughout. The production and mix are excellent. You can thank T Bone Burnett for that; in fact this album could just as well be titled Burnett and Case. Anyway, great CD for driving down the road, or just sitting on your couch drinking beer and stomping your feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best American Folk artist of the late 1980's, July 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Peter Case (Audio CD)

If you've ever seen Pter Case live then you how powerful these songs can be. This is without a doubt THE BEST american folk art album of the decade. I only hope this review makes you want to hear this album. Small town spree alone is worth the price of admission. Give it a listen and discover a true master of the art.

I practically wore out my vinyl LP in the 80's, made a cassette (and did wear it out!), now I'm odering the CD and can't wait!

If you aren't a Peter Case fan (yet) then pick this up for a few bucks and hop on the bandwagon. If you are a fan, don't forget to go back and get those highly underrated Plimsouls albums! (And just for fun, go watch "Valley Girls", the flick that made Nick Cage a hit. The Plimsouls--with Peter Case--perform a few songs in a club scene. "A Million Miles Away" was a great song, and a sneak peak at what was to come from Peter Case.)
