I’m trying to find my confidence with music. For the longest time, I had no faith in my ability to discern good music from bad music. My response to what music I liked was simply, “Whatever sounds good,” And while I still can’t effectively argue about why I like certain songs or artists as well as I can argue about movies, I feel like I can now at least begin to talk and share my opinions. I’m not going to get self-righteous, but just as others have tried opening my ears to new music, so too do I hope that what I like will be songs that you like too. Group hug. So today I’d like to showcase Neko Case, who not only allows me to have fun with her awesome name, but is a woman with a spectacular voice and a unique sound. She makes me think of Bob Dylan if he was a hot chick. She’s got a great blend of rock, country, and folk to her music and while her albums were very hit-and-miss with me, it’s rare that I’ll find an album we’re I’ll love all her tracks.
Here’s my favorite of her songs, from her album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Enjoy (stupid WordPress doesn’t allow you to adjust the volume in the player so make sure you’re not about to fuck the eardrums of you and those in your vicinity).
