Blacklisted finds Case quite a bit more reflective than usual. Gone are honky-tonk floorstompers and in its place are songs like the moody and hypnotic Deep Red Bells and the downright haunting Ghost Wiring (appropriate for such a title, of course). Case is in fine voice for such confessions and testimonials (featuring numerous photos of "deer in headlights" in the CD booklet seems appropriate), and in fact uses Blacklisted to showcase that her voice has become even stronger over time. Even when covering a song like Look For Me (I'll Be Around) , Neko adds an indelible stamp. Not an easy chore when you consider that the likes of Sarah Vaughan had previously left her mark on the song.
