| The amusing album cover obscures the fact that this is a "live in the studio" album. Produced by ex-Lone Justice member Marvin Etzioni--who put out a pair of excellent, overlooked solo albums as Marvin the Mandolin Man around this time--SINGS LIKE HELL consists of Case on guitar and piano, Etzioni on mandolin, a violinist, a drummer and a bassist, bashing out 13 new Case songs which crackle with energy, wit, narrative sophistication and good old-fashioned rock & roll heart. | |
| Even given the mostly acoustic lineup and the folk leanings of songs such as "Brokedown Engine" and "Waltz of the Angels," this music has passion and energy to burn. And of course, Peter Case...well, sings like hell. Highly recommended. | |
