Live From Austin Tx (DVD + CD) (2017)

Al eerder op losse DVD of CD verschenen registratie van een TV-concert. Nu zijn beiden samengevoegd tot één handige set. "Following the release of her third album "Blacklisted", Neko Case's reputation was beginning to expand beyond the boundaries of the alt-country community when she appeared on the celebrated roots music television showcase Austin City Limits, and "Live From Austin Tx" preserves the full 14-song set Case played for ACL's studio audience on August 9, 2003. Case's accompaniment is simple and spare on this set -- Jon Rauhouse on guitar, banjo and pedal steel, Tom V. Ray on bass and Kelly Hogan on vocal harmonies -- but Case's warm, rich voice is big enough to fill the room all by itself, and her partners provide just the right accents for the sad but resonant songs that dominate this performance. Perhaps Case's greatest virtue is her ability to sing with strength and authority without sounding histrionic, and that gift dominates this album." (Mark Deming, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
