Fish hooks don't hurt your skull in the long run

About Me

"Alough Dually's 10 songs were recorded at different times and in different ways, they hang together beautifully because of their common rootsy feel and Case's consistently strong songwriting..." Ripsaw,Duluth,MN
Buy Dually ifn you want
"It's this folk side that's evident on case's first solo album.The emphasis is on traditional folk, with fingerpicked guitar, banjo and mandolin accented by the occasional harmonica lick. Case handles nearly all the instruments himself, and he's an expressive player, whether he's tackling footstomping blues -folk tunes like "My Old Angel" and "Black Dog" or moody cuts like "Sun & Rain". The arrangements are simple but effective; while Case's voice and fingerpicking are the center of each song, there's always a little backing vocal or rhthym going on to make the tune complete..." Ripsaw, Duluth,MN
Buy hookhead
"Okay, so, in the summer of '78, when Pete Rose was on that hitting spree, I lodged a fishing lure into the back of my head. My Dad decided that I should be called hookhead from then on. It didn't hurt." -Case I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
