A couple others have already replied, both agreeing and disagreeing. I'm a big fan, which obviously means I like her voice and song writing. I've only seen her live once, at an outdoor show and I thought her voice was clear and strong.
As far as her ego I got exactly the opposite impression. Actually her backup singer, Kelly Hogan, handled most of the between song chat. It was as if Neko was the lead singer in Kelly's band. The very fact that the "star" didn't seem to feel threatened says to me that her ego is in check. BTW - why no Kelly Hogan on RP? |

I had the opposite experience when she was in Minnesota a couple of years ago. She played a mid-sized theater and was very engaging. She chatted with the audience between songs, talked about the location, and seemed pretty down to earth. And I love her voice, limited range or not. |

I just love it when someone who probably doesn't have abilities remotely like the artist assigns them self the mantle of the critic. |

I had a similar experience in Kingston. Glad to read your view, I thought it was the hall she played in. Her vocals were non existent and I went home empty. sigh............ |

always makes me think her music would be a perfect melancholia soundtrack for a road trip through the great plains...I always thought she was born and raised there (I'm surprised she isn't)...her music is so country...

Interesting thought. Tend to agree. |

I'll see your Radiohead and raise you David Byrne. If you take his solo work plus collaborations with Brian Eno plus Talking Heads, you get 67 songs in the RP database.
There are at least 73 Tom Petty song titles, over 60 tunes featuring some manifestation of Mark Knopfler, and 33 song titles from J.J. Cale. It would appear that a lot of listeners like those artists and the others mentioned in the quoted post. |

Wow, so you've tuned in twice and heard the end of a decent song and then a great song! You got your freak on man!  Lucky you; but then again this is RP, so it's really no surprise. I suggest you stay tuned in, that way you'll always hear good music. |

I don't hear anything shrill or pseudo in her voice. I don't think I could ever get sick of listening to Neko. 7 > 8. |

A big fan of Neko Case, but this album has failed to really move me like some of her others have. This piece however has gotten an instant 7 and that may go to an 8 with more listening.
