Neko Case - Blacklisted LP

Alt-country's leading songbird of the North, Neko Case created
her finest album in 2002. 'Blacklisted' is a considerably darker 
and more understated affair than previous releases and its 
sometimes stark, sometimes elegant 3 a.m. sound is informed
as much by pop, jazz, and blues flavors as the country & 
western-slanted melodies of her first two solo albums. Great!
