Neko Case's solo debut is a delightful collection of heartfelt originals and vibrant covers ranging from traditional country fare (
Ernest Tubb's "Thanks a Lot,"
Loretta Lynn's "Somebody Led Me Away") to more eclectic material (
Scott Walker's "Duchess"); the highlight is a rip-snorting rendition of
the Everly Brothers' "Bowling Green," a duet with
Zumpano's
Carl Newman.
