CablesMar 7, 2006Beautiful in every sense of the word. A true masterpiece.

DesmondBFeb 17, 2007Fox Confessor is a modern classic. The songs that don't hit you at first will reveal, after repeated listens, the genius of Neko's songwriting.

BridgetFondaMar 10, 2006OMG! This is so incredibly good i can't stand it!

MattMar 7, 2006Mesmerizing. Only complaint is that it's too short. I could hear that voice for hours at a time.

TomYMar 8, 2006Neko Case at her countrified best. A brilliant album from start to finish that sounds slightly more alt than country when compared with her earlier work.

-
TheGiraffeMar 8, 2006Best album of 2006 so far. She's always had the voice, but she's never had a batch of songs this strong before. If a better record comes out this year, we're all in for a treat.

DaveMar 9, 2006Great CD, may be even better than Blacklisted. Can't wait to here her live!

CLeJan 6, 2007Neko's voice is stunning. The way it glides reminds me of... snowboarding. I also love the abstract nature of her lyrics. It's a great contrast to the sometimes overly literal lyrics of pop country. One of the best albums of 2006.

laureneMar 21, 2006Incredible lyrics, an unmatched voice and talent in music today.

TomB.Mar 8, 2006Album of the year. Noone else is making music like this, a labor of love from the first note to the last. A total antidote to the packaged, bland, corporate crap that dominates the airwaves these days. This is real music, made by real musicians who are peerless in their talents. Do yourself a favor and listen to this quietly for a week.

MatthewCApr 26, 2006This album just grows in stature every time I listen to it. Gorgeous vocals, lovely arrangements and challenging, unpredicatble lyrics that keep you thinking at every turn. Best thing I've heard this year. It is a fairly sshort album, but there's no filler to be found. An improvement on Blacklisted, if that's possible.

DREFromCharlotteSep 14, 2006Neko Case has the clearest voice in 2006 music. 'Fox' is a lovely, sorta wacko, alt-country masterpiece. It's sort of like stepping back in time to heart Pasty Cline singing cutting-edge alt.

GernickKApr 16, 2007played the record again this weekend after not having listened to it for a while, was again struck by the sheer gorgeousness of this album. possibly the best album of 2006 (though i struggle to think of an album that could match this in 2006) Catch her live if you can, it will be magic.

GerardoCMar 13, 2006Neko has the ability to put all the beauty and grotesqueness of living into one album, one breathe. That voice is from some undiscovered dimension and I'll follow her there or anywhere she wants.

JackPApr 17, 2006Thanks to MTV and ClearChannel, an artist with talent like Neko Case gets mostly ignored by the masses, while that weak-ass, generic, formulaic punk/pop crap gets hyped up to near unbelievable levels. While they whine and bitch like 15-year-olds, Neko makes *real* emotional music.

madslMar 27, 2006Wow! I'm mightily impressed by the talents of Ms Case. The obvious thing is her remarkable voice which lends the music drama, urgency and passion in turns, but the real stunning thing about this album is the sublety of the melodies. They are anything but ordinary - rather they possess a rare kind of intuitive grace that is seldom experienced in modern music.

-
BillMar 7, 2006A wonderfully listless psychological meditation on love lost (and sometimes found). The best record of 2006 so far.

dinorApr 2, 2006See Her LIVE if she comes to your town. AMAZING. Fox Confessor is not shabby either

TravisBMay 31, 2006Beautiful. I'm not even a huge country fan, and I love this stuff. Check out "maybe sparrow" or "teenage feeling", in addition to the single "star witness"

G-ManMar 6, 2006Nothing compares to Neko's passion and grace that comes across in her voice. "Star Witness" and "A Widow's Toast" are a couple of the highlights on a very strong solo-album. The New Pornographers should count their blessings that they have such a talented gal to play with.

Aug 6, 2011"Star Witness" is top shelf, along with "John Saw that Number". There isn't a bad song on this record. I would say it's probably her best, but I know most wouldn't agree. Different from Blacklisted and sort of points in the direction of Middle Cyclone. Worth it.
-
paulcMar 30, 2006personally, i like blacklisted better but i can tell that this album has a lot of lyrical depth to it. with that in mind, ask me what my rating is in a few months. regardless, NO album will ever do neko's live show justice - she is absolutely breathtaking.

BobSApr 4, 2006I Love Neko Case! I just caught her live and she is spectacular in that setting. The new album Fox Confessor is really good but not a classic as Blacklisted surely is. Her vox is a wonder of the world though.

-
romanmcApr 11, 2006This album sounds like a dressed-up Blacklisted. It's got some dark, brooding country-gothic in it, however, "Star Witness" and "That Teenage Feelin'" let in more 50s sunshine than anything on Blacklisted. Which works.

Awards & Rankings
-
Case's overzealous self-production means there are layers upon layers to every track, which sometimes works to her detriment.
-
The singing gives you goosebumps.

Entertainment WeeklyMoving futher away from her early alt-country sound has sharpened Case's songwriting instincts. [10 Mar 2006, p.68]
