“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
The Flying Crow left New Orleans
At Shreveport took a crew
Changed water in Texarcana
And the driver said "Push on through"
Don't you know we're gone
Got two lights on--
Two lights on behind
The red light that means trouble
Green light's a wandering mind
Twenty-five minutes past seven
A cup of coffee and a slice of cake
We'll be all the way to Kansas City
Before the driver ever hits the brake
Don't you know we're gone
Got two lights on--
Two lights on behind
The red light that means trouble
Green light's a wandering mind
You can take your money, baby
throw it against the wall
You can keep everything that sticks
They'll take everything that falls
Don't you know we're gone
Got two lights on--
Two lights on behind
The red light that means trouble
Green light's a wandering mind
How soon 'til you forget me, baby?
Why do you hide your face?
I'm begging you for mercy
You're making it a federal case
Don't you know we're gone
Got two lights on--
Two lights on behind
The red light that means trouble
Green light's a wandering mind
My woman's got a mouth
Like a lighthouse on the sea
Everytime she looks my way
She shines her light on me
Don't you know we're gone
Got two lights on--
Two lights on behind
The red light that means trouble
Green light's a wandering mind

Saw these guys open for the Rolling Stones in Minneapolis and they completely blew me away. Saw there was a new album coming out so I immediately pre-ordered it and picked this up as well b/c it's fuckin' brilliant! Tyme
