Jon Rauhouse Releases New Album and Hits The Road With Neko Case!

JON RAUHOUSE, the pedal steel and Hawaiian guitar whiz behind the recordings of Neko Case, Calexico, Kelly Hogan and many others, as well as two solo records, continues his Quixotic quest to keep instrumental music alive on March 13!. Backed by Calexico, Steel Guitar Heart Attack is woozy, it’s swinging, it’s mournful, it’s joyful. You don’t need words, man, you just need a good rhythm while you’ve got the gin in the shaker. If you are a fusspot that needs some singing, there’s a few tracks sung by Neko Case, Sally Timms, Kelly Hogan and Rachel Flotard (Visqueen). These ladies will melt the ice in ANYONE’S punchbowl.

Jon Rauhouse will be appearing in Neko Case's band for her upcoming 2007 Australia/West Coast tour:
