Sorry, gotta say I really dislike this song.  It's just bad, the type of song you just can't wait to switch the station.

Somehow, when Nico Case comes on, the RP comments section becomes a middle school locker room.

I hear quite a lot of Mary's Danish influence... I don't think RP has ever played them though.

Damn! I've got a hard...longing ...for this gal. My dad had a gold '69 Cougar just like the one she straddles barefoot.
Cold shower time now, for sure!

Mainly because a lot of the old country studios were anything but. The old Middlesex Studio in Middlesex, NC, (where a number of regional country and country-rock acts recorded in the early 70s) was a converted telephone switch building. Solid brick walls over a cement foundation with waffleboard interior. The sound inside was absolutely dead. Reverb was jacked up to make it feel halfway live. The "Barn" studio outside Greenville NC was a converted metal building that had started life as a tractor repair shop.

As for this Case recording - I like it because it was the first time I noticed that she has much more vocal control than I had previously given her credit for. The studio sound hides that. She's got a load of talent, like a young Linda Rondstadt. I'm looking forward to following her career.

And thanks nagshead for the fascinating music history lesson!

I prefer the studio version myself.   I notice a lot of people at RP are put off by the reverb in Neko's songs.  I don't think it detracts from her studio albums and I suspect it's used to give a more authentic country twang feel like what was used in Patsy Cline's and other artists' music. 

Just as an aside I wonder if reverb was used in country in the first place to give the effect of the "great outdoors" as if the musicians are in a field or hilltop, music being influenced by its environment.

Seen her a couple of times and never got that impression.  Besides, she's pretty hot.  And talented.

Why would there be a backlash against talented singer/sonwriters? It's more likely that there would be a backlash against misguided Neko hating posters like you... lol {#Nyah}

I'd never miss an opportunity to see her in concert.  She was awesome at Disney Concert Hall in LA.  Got to sit right behind them!  This recording isn't anywhere near as good as the live rendition I heard.

Apparently, she's been cutting way back on the vibrato on the vocals for the new album, which is fine really.  That voice needs no adulteration or embellishment.  She seems to be getting a little further from the country and more into her own terrain.  I'll be interested to see how she goes in future work.

I agree.  The original has a certain power that this is lacking.  But live versions are often frought with attempts at alternate phrasing and arrangements that don't always please fans.
