Neko Case Live on DVD (and much more...)



Neko Case's newest album, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, is beginning to appear on many people's best of 2006 lists - and rightfully so. She is definitely an A-list writer and performer, and someone I just can't seem to get enough of right now. You can get some info from a previous post here, as well as stream the entire album (still).

Now she'll be releasing her first DVD of live music, Live from Austin, TX (Austin City Limits) on January 9, 2007. Go get it.

Here's a clip:



Here's what her website says about it:

NEKO'S AUSTIN CITY LIMITS PERFORMANCE ON DVD

Neko's August 2003 debut performance on the legendary PBS program, Austin City Limits, is available on DVD as part of New West Records' ACL collection!!

Performing on Austin City Limits, one of Neko and her grandmother's all-time favorite programs, was one of Neko's proudest career moments, and probably one of her proudest personal moments as well...

Neko and the band were so thrilled (and nervous!) to be in Austin for the taping (even in August's humidity!). Joined by JON RAUHOUSE on pedal steel, banjo and Hawaiian guitar, KELLY HOGAN on gorgeous backing vocals, and TOM V. RAY (and his GIANT BEARD) on upright bass and hidden tambourine, the performance includes songs from Neko's albums Furnace Room Lullaby and Blacklisted and the cover-heavy EP, Canadian Amp, as well as the previously unreleased song "Behind The House." There's also some pretty hilarious storytelling from Neko and Hogan.

Many, many thanks to ALL the wonderful folks at Austin City Limits including (but not limited to!!) Terry, Jeff, Maury (and Link!), Emily, Leslie, AND to the kind, kind people at New West Records including "Sweet Mother" Gary Briggs, Cameron, Katherine, Traci, Jay, and all the rest...

Finally, I'd also **highly** recommend checking her out on NPR's World Cafe "Words & Music." You'll get a great sense of who Neko is and why she's so great (though unfortunately the songs are edited).
