For 2004's THE TIGERS HAVE SPOKEN, her debut on the prestigious Anti label, alt-country singer/songwriter Neko Case forgoes a studio album in favor of a live outing. Those looking for the upbeat pop of Case's work with the New Pornographers won't find it here--this is straight-up twangy country rock that sticks closely to the sound of her previous records (BLACKLISTED and FURNACE ROOM LULLABY), and makes the most of the concert setting.

The focus here, as always, is on Case's powerful voice, which channels Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn while remaining undeniably individual. Aided by the Sadies, vocalist Kelly Hogan, and pedal steel/banjo player Jon Rauhouse, Case unveils new originals (the bold "If You Knew," the dreamy title track) and a handful of covers (Buffy Saint-Marie's "Soulful Shade of Blue," Lynn's "Rated X"), among others. Throughout the set, Case and Hogan harmonize gorgeously, while Rauhouse's crying pedal steel lifts the music to a higher plane. Although this is a teasingly short record (barely clocking in at 34 minutes), THE TIGERS HAVE SPOKEN proved more than enough to tide fans over until Case's next full-length album.
