Neko Case - "Deep Red Bells" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

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

[@Vudoo13]

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

[@wsidechris]

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!

[@Fryerstarter]

God damn that woman can sing!

[@MoiraRussell]

Ted Williams could bat pretty good too ;-)

[@cillid23]

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

[@victoriacoleman1161]

Love your voice, earthy! 🌄

[@Hightimetommy]

Simply beautiful

[@utubeisCensorred]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@gingerm7800]

This is a song about the Green River serial killer. He was active in the area she grew up in.

[@drzaius844]

2:57 this section hits me so hard

[@jerrygu5316]

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

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.
