I forget some of his personal details, but he's been there and done that. If memory serves, he ran away from home at 15 or 16, hit the road. I take "Travelin' Light" as largely autobiographical. 47001@blogcritics.org Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:53:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46994 I once heard him say that he was homeless prior to the Plimsouls, and , when he was with him, after shows he'd immediately go hang out with the homeless guys outside the club, because those were the people he felt most comfortable with. I think that's pretty cool. 46994@blogcritics.org Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:40:02 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46775 Al,This sounds like a mighty fine listen to me.I love Jimmie Rodgers.Even more than him I dig The Carlisle Bros. & The Delmore Bros. stuff with Fiddlin'Arthur Smith on Bluebird,but I digress.I just wanna know: Can he yodel??? 46775@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Feb 2004 15:05:35 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46768 As Hans and Franz would say, hear me now and believe me later. Get those albums and then tell me if I wasn't right. 46768@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Feb 2004 14:49:02 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46759 my life's not complete? dang, i just knew there was a problem. 46759@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Feb 2004 13:20:19 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46751 Yes, he was with the Plimsouls, but they are the least of his artistic achievements. He's also considered a big name in modern acoustic music. I don't pay a lot of attention to all the little movements and such what, but he's big among such as the "no depression" wave and a couple of other sub-genres of acoustic music. I just know he's written a bunch of stellar songs. If you don't own <i>Blue Guitar</i> and the eponymous <i>Peter Case</i> album, your life just isn't complete. 46751@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Feb 2004 12:57:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/22/165517.php#comment-46747 Case is the ex-Plimsouls guy? i saw a little bio about him on the tube not too long ago. he's got a pretty big following (for a guy nobody's ever heard of) and how can you not like a guy who'll name one of his records <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000EN2/ref=m_art_li_7/002-6764140-9287251?v=glance&s=music">Peter Case Sings Like Hell</a> 46747@blogcritics.org Mon, 23 Feb 2004 12:36:26 EST
