Neko Case & Kelly Hogan singing together is a beautiful thing

[@cinbrian28]

Man the dude on the slide doesn’t even play it full time and he’s one of the best I’ve seen. Unreal performance all around!

[@andrewcostigan6122]

The chills, every time she hits that first chorus...

[@Fragrantbeard]

Frisson!

[@fiscidtox]

Incredible voice, it's like Patsy Cline mixed with Dolly Parton. So much soul.

[@unwavery]

There's a bit of Grace Slick in there dont overlook...

[@catladytrucker7608]

I really hear the timbre and influence of Wanda Jackson.

[@igloozoo3771]

I compare her to Maria Mckee

[@nowthenzen]

She always thanks the audience for appreciating her songs and I swear she always means it, for like 25 years

[@synjyn901]

She played at t Edmonton Folk Festival several years back, I was working the artists music and merch tent right beside the main stage when she was doing her sound check in the early afternoon. I got to watch a 20 minute mini concert all by myself, and she thanked me for staying to watch. Even while they were working to set levels, she sounded amazing.

[@kylatokki22]

Neko Case was in the audience at a book reading in Washington, around 2009 (?) I HAD to approach her and thank her for her music/ art. She was incredibly humble and kind. Always will be a huge fan of her work. Thank you, Neko!

"A handprint on the driver's side It looks a lot like engine oil And tastes like being poor and small And popsicles in summer" Given what inspired this song . . . God, those lines pack a wallop.

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

Yeah, kinda like Bob Dylan: Great music and totally pretentious, cryptic and mostly nonsensical lyrics. I love Neko for her music; the lyrics I ignore.

[@bigbearddahuzi1036]

Totally pretentious and non-sensical... sounds like the defect is more on your end, little buddy. I'm sure you could find a boy band, or maybe some lite pop rock, that wouldn't offend your delicate sensibilities

[@andrewwetmore5729]

I read somewhere it was about the Green River Killer

When I first heard Neko in 2001 -- her stunning "Furnace Room Lullaby" used in the Cate Blanchett film "The Gift" -- I thought that her voice was too good to be true. The next year I got this album, "Blacklisted". This track in particular had me thinking again, no way, there has to be some studio trickery to make that sound. But here it is, live!

[@notasbrightasicouldb]

Every time!

[@shawnhayden6674]

She sings into a high microphone like Lemmy Kilmister. I fucking love it. I love her. I love him. I love great music...

[@cillid23]

Love you Neko.....that voice is so FULL

[@jonboywhite13]

God damn that woman can sing!

[@MoiraRussell]

Ted Williams could bat pretty good too ;-)

Deep Red Bells / Lyrics He led you to this hiding place His lightning threats spun silver tongues The red bells beckon you to ride A handprint on the driver's side It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small And Popsicles in the summer Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done It always has to come this Red bells ring this tragic hour We've lost sight of the overpass The daylight won't remember that When speckled fronds raise round your bones Who took the time to fold your clothes And sthe Valley of the Shadow Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Where does this mean world cast its cold eye Who's left to suffer long about you Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag Past empty lots and early graves Those like you who lost their way Murdered on the interstate While the red bells rang like thunder Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Source: Musixmatch

[@utubeisCensorred]

I had no idea this song was about a serial killer. So much better knowing that.

[@jerrygu5316]

Turn your speaker up to 11. She's already there.

[@essenceidentity]

"For those like you, that lost their way murdered on the interstate..." Reminds me of wreckless drivers on Hwy not noticing someone in blind spot!

[@NeccoWecco]

it's more much dark than that. You should check out the story behind the song :)

[@Dermot2927]

I heard it was about Ted Bundy, is that correct?

[@NeccoWecco]

It's actually about Gary Ridgway

[@Dermot2927]

That's interesting, thanks.

[@extragone4203]

Savage go hey love always

[@notasbrightasicouldb]

About the oldest trope and truth, violence relentless against women.

[@Fragrantbeard]

I read that like a tear welling in the back of one eye, and then it socked me in the gut. You speak truth. Every day, that's one of the truest truths.

Who is the woman doing the low harmonies?

[@Dermot2927]

That's Kelly Hogan, also a solo musician in her own right. If you're lucky enough to catch her live with Neko, you'll find her a hilarious and engaging stage presence.

[@notasbrightasicouldb]

Kelly Hogan, a goddess among mortals.
