While Peter Case has previously cast himself as an Anglophile power popster (with the Plimsouls), a Woody Guthrie-esque troubadour, and a Mississippi John Hurt disciple (producing and performing on the Avalon Blues tribute album), rarely has his songcraft seemed as transparently intimate as it does here. He has plainly been absorbing some Eastern influence, both in the India-tinged percussion and drone of the arrangements and the lyrical flights of "If You Got a Light to Shine," "Evening Raga," "Lost in the Sky," and "First Light." With his cover of "Ain't Leaving Your Love," he honors the memory of Townes Van Zandt, while "Something's Coming" (and its bonus cut remix) finds the oft-acoustic artist exploring new frontiers of technology. "You only live once or twice," he sings in the tender "I Hear Your Voice," though Case seems already to have made his way through a half-dozen or more musical lives. --Don McLeese

4 out of 5 stars Buzzsaw.......2002-11-11

Peter Case has always been a bit off-center. For those who tire of the usual, this makes his post-Plimsouls catalogue a treat. Case took a year off after his father's death; and his return with son Joshua on guitar is more fun than one would expect. "If You Got a Light to Shine" opens with a bongo beat that keeps the toes tapping. Case dedicates the CD to his father Wilber, Dave Van Ronk & George Harrison. "Evening Raga," may be a bluesy Harrison tribute with a meditative feel. "I woke this morning feeling bad, A woeful dream of a friend I had, I looked around & you weren't there, I looked above & said my prayer," he sings before Andrew Williams' harmonium explodes. "I Hear Your Voice" is soft like a gentle caress. "Lost In the Sky" pulses with Caribbean percussion & Arabic touches, "I feel like I'm falling & I don't know why." "Gone" is a pensive slow tune. My favorite is the propulsive beat of "Something's Coming" with its buzzsaw guitar, "Open your eyes & a struggle begins, going around to the voodoo dolls & pulling out pins." The CD concludes with an uncredited 11th track of a shorter version of the same tune. The other diamond on the CD is Case's bouncy reading of Townes Van Zandt's "Ain't Leaving Your Love," "Mr. Gator's gliding down the bayou; Mr. Buzzard's flying through the air; Mr. Turtle, he's hitting the highway, I ain't going nowhere; I ain't leaving your love." "It's Cold Inside" is a slow bluesy mix that brings Van Ronk to mind. "Manana Champeen" is a Dylanesque set-the-record-right tune that opens, "Here's to the procrastination champions of the world who put off everything until doomsday," and then musically devolves into schmaltz. The last of the original tracks is the excellent "First Light" that musically has some Harrison-like touches. Case has achieved the status with me of an artist whose releases I never miss. "Beeline" is a varied and strong outing. More fun! Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars McCabe's #1 - Peter Case Review 11-02-2002.......2002-11-03

I going to start a small review of each artist I buy a CD from after seeing that particular artist (or band) performance at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA ** I bought "Beeline" after Case's performance at McCabe's Sat. 11-02-2002. The first set of the concert featured most of Peter's new material off this particular album. I especially liked "Something's Coming" - "If You Got A Light To SHINE" - "Lost In The Sky" and a great tribute to Townes Van Zandt in "Ain't Leaving Your Love". The second set featured mostly his older songs - Including "On The Way Downtown" - "Honey Child" and "Beyond The Blues". Amazing singer-songwriting and progressive guitar player always settling for nothing less. His band was rockin' (drummer and bass player) and the encore brought out only Peter with his acoustic guitar. He played "Blue Distance" and "Broken Harmony" in such a sweet folk-harmony that I wished he would kept on playing. I met Peter after the concert by the front door and he had his Sharpie ready to sign my copy of "Beeline" - It read "To Joe - Excelsior!...Peter Case" Thanks Peter for making great music! JG "Bear"
