Laura Veirs is the debut studio album by Laura Veirs, released in 1999. Unlike her later albums, this features only Veirs and her guitar and is noticeably less produced than her later work, having been recorded live in three hours rather than given an extensive studio process. [2] This album is currently out of print, with only 1,000 copies pressed and Veirs later disavowing the music as bad. [3]

Neko Richelle Case is an American singer-songwriter and member of the Canadian indie rock group the New Pornographers. Case' contralto voice has been described by contemporaries and critics as a "flamethrower", "a powerhouse [which] seems like it might level buildings," "a 120-mph fastball," and a "vocal tornado". Critics also note her idiosyncratic, "cryptic," "imagistic" lyrics, and credit her as a significant figure in the early 21st-century American revival of the tenor guitar. Case's body of work has spanned and drawn on a range of traditions including country, folk, art rock, indie rock, and pop and is frequently described as defying or avoiding easy generic classification.
