Got A Girl Crush On: Neko Case

Singing about heartache, unrequited love, and retribution–she is this generation’s Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton. Her voice is haunting. Her songs are visceral and potent.

Middle Cyclone was hands down one of my favorite albums this year. Aside from her work with The New Pornographers–if you don’t know Neko, you don’t know nothin.
