The Far Corners of the Mind

Week 3's album was Neko Case - Blacklisted. I have to say that I'm extremely happy about this recommendation. I will be adding this artist to my collection.

Wiki:
Most of the album's fourteen songs are originals, except for covers of "Running Out of Fools", previously a hit for Aretha Franklin, and "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)" by Sarah Vaughan. Blacklisted finds Case even deeper in a "country noir" mood, and was described by critics as lush, bleak, and atmospheric. Case cited filmmaker David Lynch, composer Angelo Badalamenti, and Neil Young's soundtrack to the film Dead Man as influences. One track, "Deep Red Bells", was inspired by Case's memories of being a vulnerable young woman in the Seattle area while the Green River Killer was at large.

THE HAMMER CLICKS IN PLACE. THE WORLD'S GONNA PAY.
RIGHT DOWN IN THE FACE OF GOD, AND HIS SAINTS
WHO CLAIM YOUR SOUL IS NOT FOR SALE
I'M A DYING BREED, WHO STILL BELIEVES
HUNTED BY AMERICAN DREAMS

From the opening lyrics, to the final note, this album is simply fantastic.
Very mellow overall, with deep and meaningful lyrics.

BUT DON'T YOU TRY AND STOP ME
I CLING TIGHTLY... TO THIS LIFE

Overall a fantastic album, I dug it a lot. It got a lot of play during this week. I heavily reccomend it.

A Solid 5/5. I think it can be played during any moood, solid music, solid lyrics.

Next Week is ... Black Keys - Attack and Release.

Also... I'm enjoying the hell out of this experiment :)
