Considered by many the greatest country voice of her generation, Neko Case's powerful, lush, increasingly multifaceted voice is truly an instrument to behold. Over the course of four studio records, the Chicago-based artist has tempered her uncanny ability to belt it out with softness and nuance, injecting subtle character into her songs. By the time 2002's Blacklisted hit the racks, Time, Esquire, GQ and virtually all the major music press felt it necessary to weigh in on the woman who had become country music's most interesting young voice.

Raised in the Northwest, a stronghold for indie bands, for years Case played drums in punk groups, but didn't give singing a try until she joined the Vancouver-based trio Maow in 1994. Three years later, Case recorded her solo debut, The Virginian, followed by Furnace Room Lullaby, the impressive Blacklisted, and this year's live-in-concert The Tigers Have Spoken. All the while she's been touring almost nonstop, and her reputation has blossomed among both the indie rock and traditional country audiences.
