Neko Case is one of those artists who can’t quite crack my “must listen” list even though everything she does sounds great.

The major exception is her 2006 album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, which broke through to hold a spot among my favorite albums of that decade.

But the albums she’s released before and since just haven’t had the same lasting appeal.

That includes Blacklisted, from which today’s SOTD is culled. It has a great torchy sound and beautifully showcases Case’s vocals… it just doesn’t make it to my speakers or headphones unless the Random iTunes Fairy looks its way.
