2002 Album Reissued On 180g Vinyl LP!
Remastered From Original Analog Tapes!
Neko has a rough around the edges voice that possesses a formidable strength and range that causes critics and fans to swoon. Blacklisted, her third album, is a lush, haunting showcase for her awe-inspiring vocal talents, as well as an intensely intimate work that evokes a dark elegance with a hint of twang.
To help create this record Neko brought together a grand cast of talented musicians; among them are Calexico, Howe Gelb, Kelly Hogan and members of The Sadies. Topping it off, Nekos voice soars and swirls moving from a sultry smokiness to joyful harmony.
The album reflects a lost, almost homesick feeling - each song aches with vivid images, to stunning results. Although the lushly beautiful album is not conceptual, there's a certain quality about it that's cinematic. Unifying the album is an aura of unsettling vulnerability that envelops the listener. In the end, Blacklisted leaves you weary and heartbroken and wanting more.
"Blacklisted is a spooky, sexycool concoction that adds smoky blues and noirish jazz elements to Case's already distinctive blend. Its cinematic vibe -- all scorched twangs and moonlit echoes -- perfectly matches her wide-open-spaces voice." - Fred Mills, Detroit Metro Times
