A Case for Case:
A Tribute to the Songs of Peter Case

Hungry for Music 

The sheer size of this tribute speaks volumes (three, to be exact) about the peer recognition troubadour Case has.

And yet, more people know who the Plimsouls were than know who Case is. But that doesn’t bother “The Man With the Blue Postmodern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar,” as he named his 1989 album. He just keeps at it, obviously for love of art and not of money.

Which brings up the point of this CD: a benefit for Hungry for Music, a nonprofit whose mission is “to inspire underprivileged children (and others) by bringing positive musical and creative experiences into their lives … through its musical instrument donations, concerts and workshops.”

The fact is, no “regular” record label could have come up with a various artists collection of modern folk-rock if they’d tried. Just look at the participants.

Especially good are the contributions from Hayes Carll, Susan Cowsill, Victoria WilliamsDave AlvinJoe ElyLast Train HomeWill KimbroughGurf MorlixChris Gaffney and Western Electric.
