One Night in America
(1988)

by
The Plimsouls
On more than one occasion, Peter Case has said rather pointedly that he never considered either the Nerves or the Plimsouls to be power pop bands -- as far as Case was concerned, he was playing pure and simple rock & roll, and one spin of One Night in America proves the man's point better than words ever could. No one seems to know how, when, or ...

by
The Plimsouls
After their two initial Planet Records albums, the Plimsouls took the major-label bait and signed on with Geffen Records. Everywhere at Once, their first Geffen album, has mixed results. While the change to a major label did have a profound impact on the band, it wasn't always for the best. While Jeff Eyrich's somewhat heavy-handed production did ...

Six-Pack of Love
(1992)
more music like this
by
Peter Case
A failed attempt at expanding his folk roots and augmenting it with the tricky production of Mitchell Froom, Case's simple songs were lost in the morass. A number of songs were co-written with legendary artists whom Case admires (Billy Swan, John Prine) but don't stand up against the sheer force of Case's voice and Froom's inexplicable ...

Peter Case returns to the form he perfected on his second album Torn Again and again turns to producers Larry Hirsch and J. Steven Soles for a collection of rock and folk songs -- and first album of original material in three years.

by
Peter Case
Never one to rely on formula, Case mixes his brand of incisive folk-rock with some simpatico musical styles for his seventh solo album, a sort of companion to its predecessor, Full Service No Waiting. Using a folk-rock base for songs like "Paradise Etc." and "Black Dirt & Clay," Case continues to ponder his past in song -- from East Coast kid to ...

Peter Case
In 2001, Peter Case produced an all-star tribute album honoring the music of Mississippi John Hurt, Avalon Blues, so with a title like Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John, it's not hard to imagine he's chosen to pay homage to another great country blues artist, Sleepy John Estes. As it happens, the album features ten new songs from Case (along with one ...

Full Service No Waiting
(1998)
more music like this
by
Peter Case
Case doesn't get much better than this -- the stories are refined, if that's possible, and his voice is stronger and clearer with age. He excels at the self-proclaimed semi-autobiographical numbers, whether on the bittersweet "On the Way Downtown," a lament like "Drunkard's Harmony" or the career retrospective "Still Playin'." With such a strong ...

Peter Case
This solo debut by former Plimsouls leader Peter Case shows the singer's rootsier side off quite well. Produced by T-Bone Burnett and Mitchell Froom, the primarily acoustic songs are adeptly arranged and filled with great melodies. Case has a reputation for being a bit too clever at times and on occasion the album's lyrics can be a bit obtuse, but ...

Beeline

Peter Case
After a yearlong abstinence from writing in the wake of his father's death, Case retured with Beeline. The production suggests that at least one of the goals here is to maintain Case's credibility as an off-center artist. The lineup is notable for the presence of the artist's son, Joshua Case, who contributes competent guitar parts and a few ...
