“Neko Case's first live album isn't the usual collection of slightly re-touched studio favorites. In addition to a few requisite live staples, this collection also includes new originals, covers of songs by Loretta Lynn and The Shangri-La's, and a couple of public-domain tracks. Members of The Sadies ably serve as Case's backing band as she moves between vintage torch-and-twang, otherworldly blues, sweet soul music, and plain old rock'n'roll.”
“This slightly muddy live album shows off the Chicago indie country girl’s endearing bag of sounds: dewy-eyed ballads, torch-song showcases for her brassy voice and originals that sound beamed in from some long-lost AM radio station.”
