The Case Files

After his tenure in the proto-power pop band the Nerves, and following the dissolution of his early ’80s rock & roll band the Plimsouls, Peter Case launched a career as an influential American singer/songwriter specializing in fingerpicked acoustic guitar and redemptive story songs about society’s outcasts and drifters, delivered in a uniquely soulful folk-rock style. The Case Files collects demos, out-takes, one live shot & other rarities from the 1985-2010 span of Case’s solo career following his work with The Plimsouls, The Nerves & The Breakaways. Compiled by Peter himself, this long-overdue collection combines rockin’ full band electric tracks with a selection of dynamic acoustic performances, and also features collaborations with Stan Ridgway, Eddie Muñoz, T-Bone Burnett, Ron Franklin and Tony Marsico.
