The whole thing RP shows to us Europeans, there has to be a very nice and friendly America. Please, sort the Problem Trump as soon as possible. We are afraid over here, what is Happening to your country. Com together, right now.

This isn't terrible but I hear so much of this style on RP...borderline country...not for me.

 
Borderline country/alt-country/country rock/Americana... whatever you want to call it, it is becoming one of my favorites.

Saw him two nights ago in the Chicago area. He still has the magic. Great lyricist and guitarist. He played this song that night to boot!

brings a smile to my face and a little pep in my walk thank you Mr. Case   : )

If this was anymore middle of the road it would have white lines down the back of it.  Insipid, uninspired rehash of what went before.

Always loved this song

Listening to this song while in the kitchen took me way back to Portland town around 1970 ... a lot of young guitar pickers then.  Thx RP

Peter Case put me in the mood for quality sound, along the same line carrying Jourma Kohkenan (i caint spell), and Taj Mahal

Very underrated artist. Good stuff.

Saw him "back in the day" with Lemonheads and Smithereens at Poplar Creek in Chicago(well, the suburbs).  Good times, good times.........

So glad that RP covers this "style", this genre, whatever.  Good music is good music.

Ol' Pete! I've been listening to his music for about 30 years now, Plimsouls and all. Still great, after all these years. {#Clap}
 
Agree, Peter Case is a majorly underrated-appreciated singer-songwriter; check out Flying Saucer Blues, more PC! (Thanks for all the great tunes this year Bill—-Wishing RP much success in 2010—The Year of the Tiger!)

If you've ever seen the movie "Valley Girl" with Nicoloas Cage, there is a scene in a bar where the band is playing a song 'A Million Miles Away'. The band is The Plimsouls, and their leader was Peter Case.

MAJOR new discovery for me - I'm all over this dude's entire discography. What a tune! Solid 9.

I swear Slaid Cleves sounds just like Peter Case! I would have sworn this was Slaid Cleves, who I adore. If this Case guy sticks with it, he might make something of himself...

long not heard, saw him about 20 years ago in Nijmegen (Holland)
great singer/songwriter, classic style

At first I thought this was Dylan.  Refreshing to hear that his type of music is still "out there."  Kudos to Peter Case!

the cover photo looks like peter can do lots of complex calculation quickly.....if you know what I mean......

Always like anything from Peter Case - but still prefer his Plimsouls days.

Country Hick stuff....where's the blow jug sound?

And it sounds alot like Buckets o' Rain by Dylan...but that's way better.

Another fine son of Buffalo. This is a damn good CD by a largely underappreciated troubador- :D
