Contains an untitled hidden track following "Ghost Wiring". Personnel: Neko Case (vocals, acoustic & eletric guitars, piano, drums, tambourine, percussion, saw); Joey Burns (acoustic & electric guitars, cello, accordion, organ, vibraphone, acoustic & electric basses); Dallas Good (acoustic, electric & 12-string guitars); Jon Rauhouse (pedal steel guitar, Hawaiian steel guitar, banjo); Brian Connelly (baritone guitar); Howe Gelb (piano, Wurlitzer piano, organ); Tom V. Ray (upright bass); John Convertino (drums); Kelly Hogan, Mary Margaret O'Hara (background vocals). Producers: Neko Case, Darryl Neudorf, Craig Schumacher. Recorded at Wavelab, Tucson, Arizona and Prarie Sun Studios, Cotati, California between January 2001 and February 2002. More subdued than its predecessor (FURNACE ROOM LULLABY), Neko Case's 2002 album, BLACKLISTED, is the singer/songwriter's first outing not co-billed to "Her Boyfriends." Backed by a cadre of intuitive musicians that includes multi-instrumentalist Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino (both of Calexico) and their Giant Sand peer Howe Gelb (on various keys), Case offers up a largely down-tempo set that's steeped in a dreamy, noir-like atmosphere. The haunting "Deep Red Bells" masterfully showcases the range of Case's resonant voice, while "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)" evokes the cinematic mood of a vintage black-&-white thriller as narrated from the perspective of the femme fatale. Even BLACKLISTED's most upbeat moments--the soaring "Lady Pilot" and the twangy "Stinging Velvet"--carry a palpable sense of melancholy, resulting in a record that's in line with Nick Cave's dark aesthetic. (In fact, Case would go on to open for Cave on tour, and the two would become label-mates on Anti- with subsequent releases.) Arguably Case's most focused and consistent album, BLACKLISTED is the perfect portal into her gorgeously half-lit world.
