| Peter Case just snuck out a few albums worth of rare material via Bandcamp. Check out Lost Songs & Outside Favorites! |
Writes Peter Case...
"These "Lost Songs" were demos and out-takes for the HWY 62 album that was released in 2015, mostly recorded by Sheldon Gomberg at the Carriage House Studio in LA, or demos from far flung locations. The cover art is from my "Prophecy System" cards I drew when I was stuck in a motel on the east coast for a few days between dates. In fact, this whole period of my career could have been called The Motel Chronicles!" – Peter Case

About the songs...
"Magic In Reverse" is with DJ Bonebrake, drums and David Carpenter, bass.
"Bumble Bee" is a version of the Memphis Minnie song, from some motel room out on the road, the best version of it I ever did on tape.
"Hiding Out" is full band out-take, with DJ on drums, David on bass, Ben Harper on guitar, and Jebin Bruni on keyboards. With Cindy Wasserman and Eva De Roovere on backing vocals
"Can't Stop Shakin'" is an original blues, also from a remote/highway side motel room, God knows where...
"Santa Cruz Crime Wave"--my version of a true crime tale set to music with a California radio influence…, Danny Frankel on drums, me on Casio keyboard.
"All Dressed Up For Trial" is a solo version of the song.
"Waiting On A Plane" is take one and day one of the album sessions, with DJ and David.
"The Plane That Never Flies" is spoken word. A demo for a potential spot on the album..we ran out of room for this and "Brotherman Rock n Roll"...I love these pieces, glad I'm getting them out now. The third spoken word on that tape is the "stream of unconsciousness" tribute to Blind Lemon Jefferson, one of the greatest of all musical heroes.
"If I Go Crazy," first take with DJ Bonebrake and David C.
"O The Morning": I love this demo...this piece surfaced on The Midnight Broadcast LP a few years later.
"New Mexico" is a solo piece, showing how it was composed on the 12-string, from the studio.
