    “One of the great US songwriters…11 new originals…several of them are among his best…Case knows that his songs don’t need perfume and a clean suit.” – MOJO

    "...It is a powerful set that finds his skills as a songwriter and his strength as a singer undiminished...Doctor Moan finds Peter Case in outstanding mature form...A grade”
    --- THE VINYL DISTRICT

    “Doctor Moan is filled with personal reflections on a long, storied career, but it’s never maudlin or dispirited. In fact, Case’s varied musical palette commands the listener to lean in close to view musical dioramas of scenes gone by, from the barroom blues of “Ancient Sunrise” to the Memphis appeal of “The Flying Crow.” Even the lovely two-minute “4D,” Case’s first recorded instrumental, lends further emotion and shadow to a three-dimensional listen.” -- NO DEPRESSION

    “The cinematic and evocative single and album opener, “Have You Ever Been in Trouble” sets the tone for Peter Case’s Doctor Moan album.” – THE BIG TAKEOVER

    On 16th solo album Doctor Moan, triple Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Peter Case channels spirits of jazz, blues, and boogie-woogie into exquisitely nuanced expressions. Released by Sunset Blvd Records, Case’s first piano-based release is sonically sparse yet emotionally rich, capturing the peak of both his songcraft and voice with an organic authenticity rare in the digital age. “I try to take things I love and use them in a new way,” mulled Case. “I grew up on 1950s and ‘60s rock & roll and folk. I learned how to play blues here in San Francisco, out on the street, and then was part of the punk rock movement … It’s all still in there; it’s my musical DNA. Hopefully it opens up peoples’ hearts and lets them feel emotions that they want to feel but don’t usually have,” he concluded. “And a lot of them are focused on surviving in this world now, so hopefully the warmth of companionship and comfort, too.”

lyrics

Give me five minutes more
To sell this thing
To tell my story
And straighten it out

Give me five minutes more
To see her one more time
To fix the trouble
And try it again

Give me five minutes more
Only five minutes more

Give me five minutes more
To answer the question
To find the solution
To look it up

Give me five minutes more
To explain myself
Win or lose
To turn it around

Give me five minutes more
Five minutes more
Give me five minutes more
Only five minutes more

To get it straight
To let it go
To say goodbye
To say hello
To pick it up
To put it down
To make them laugh
And calm them down

Give me five minutes more
Only five minutes more

Settle for less
Look for proof
Expose the lies
To check on the roof
To tell them why
To plug the leak
Acknowledge the fool
And protect the weak

Give me five minutes more
Only five minutes more, etc...

To discover the worth
Quiet the moan
To inherit the earth
And rewrite this song

Give me five minutes!
