Festive 50 - Neko Case Live at BBC Maida Vale

Back in 2000 Neko Case and Her Boyfriends topped the Peel Festive 50 with their track Twist the Knife here’s a bootleg of that performance, the quality is not the best but still it’s a fine listen with tracks from the Furnace Room Lullaby album along with a great selection of covers including the Everly Brothers Bowling Green that appeared on The Virginian album, Bessie Griffin’s Lord Don’t Move the Mountain after which Loose (I assume it’s the same Loose) get a shout out, Aretha Franklin’s Runnin’ Out of Fools and Look for Me (I’ll Be Around) by Ketty Lester

Neko Case – 1 – Set Out Running

Neko Case – 11 – Bowling Green

Here’s the two tracks that start and end the session, you can get the whole thing here.

Mr Plow

Mr Plow’s CD release party is on 20th June at The Musician in Leicester and you’re all invited to celebrate the release of Joyful in Song Are We, the Leicester based band cannot be excused of lacking humour, their name for start – a quick read of their bio and a skip through the track titles and you may be making assumptions about what’s on offer here – but all is not quite like it first appears, the band may not be taking themselves too seriously and their are no plans for an assault on the charts, but the music is what matters and in a world where pretence, gloss and hype often prevail musical treats are still to be uncovered and this album is a little nugget.

Boom-chicka-boom and Johnny Cash riffs are celebrated in this very British take on Americana or as the band like to pigeonhole . . . → Read More: Mr Plow “Joyful in Song Are We” (Pink Box Records)
