One of my favorite singers, Kelly Hogan, does backup for Case (she's on the right in this video) and wrote this song for her:

Also a big fan of Hogan! They don't perform together anymore though, Hogan sings with Mavis Staples and the Decemberists. It seems like she and Neko had a falling out. I saw Neko last fall with Nora O'Connor Kean singing backup.

There are tens of us! I first heard her singing the Peter Gunn theme on my college radio station in, like, '92? Something like that?

She's a gem. I did see her and Neko live a couple of times. I also loved the Jody Grind albums, I bought one through Google Play Music when you could still do that but it somehow doesn't exist on YouTube Music even though it was a download and my other purchased downloads are there. Hogan had a great Tumblr for a while and she posted a really well written piece on how her bandmate was killed by a drunk driver that's really haunting. She once said "I'm broke, I'm fat, I'm on cuckoo pills, but I'm happy", and I just love that energy..
