Somebody Told the Truth: Selected Lyrics and Stories

More about the book

“Peter Case is an american folk hero. In a back catalog of over a dozen releases Peter Case has shown he has the musical goods to be mentioned in the same breath as Phil Ochs, Dave Van Ronk, Liam Clancy, and any of a host of stellar American folk voices. Case has the original songs, the singing voice, the road experience, and the cultural/political savvy to put these components all together in one package...” — Sid Griffin, author, Million Dollar Bob Dylan, the Band, and the Basement Tapes“The best of Peter Case’s songs suck you in to their own little worlds so deftly that you shiver with the final chord, like shaking awake from a dream. You’ve been there, inside, seeing what he’s been seeing…” — Peter Wrench, Eden On The Line“Peter Case doesn’t write like a lyricist looking for the clever hook line, he writes like a writer who knows how to make words shine and feelings resonate, so when he describes his town, or an incident at night, or being on the street, you know exactly what he’s talking about.” — Peter Stone Brown, Counterpunch
