Neko Case, Merle Haggard to Guest on New Peter Wolf Album

Neko CaseNeko Case is everywhere these days and I love it. She’ll be starring in that Stephen King musical, a story we broke before almost anyone, singing on Travis’ Fran Healy’s solo album, and we have a couple more bits about our favorite living singer coming soon. Until then, check this out…

Case, Merle Haggard, and Shelby Lynne have all been listed as guest performers on the forthcoming album from J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf, Midnight Souvenirs, Billboard reports.

Case sings on the song “The Green Fields of Summer” from Wolf’s 14-song album, his first full-length of original songs in 8 years (2 years in the making). “It’s not a record that has a particular theme,” Wolf said, “other than there’s something nocturnal about it, and I tried to keep it to the adventures that go on beyond the midnight hours.” Sounds like my kind of record!
