***BACK IN STOCK!!! The debut solo album from Neko Case's partner in the CORN SISTERS. Here she travels across Canada to record with noted representatives of Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Regina and Calgary such as Ray Condo, Ford Pier, Greg Keelor (Blue Radio), Don Kerr (Rheostatics), Oh Susanna, etc. and even a by-mail track with Moncton's Rick and Tara White (Elevator Through). Basically it's a local album in every city. Down home country singing and songs. Like Neko, this girl can belt it out, with style and charm to spare.
