...Confessor Brings the Flood Neko Case (Anti) Flame-haired alt-country chanteuse Neko Case is quite possibly the most versatile vocalist on the scene: she is an exhilarating power-pop balladeer, a smoldering lounge singer, a credible gospel soloist, and an expert interpreter of country-western standards.

Like “Waltz”, “Block Party” is filled with amazing musicians linked by a common genre; in that case, Southern Folk and Gospel-tinged rock, in this case, soul. And neither film is restricted in its audience. “Block Party” is not a black film any more than “Waltz” is a white film. The talent, exuberance and humor is open to anyone...
