The Profile

Peter Case (born 1954, Buffalo, New York) is an American singer‑songwriter who co‑founded The Nerves and fronted The Plimsouls before launching a critically acclaimed solo career blending folk, blues, and rock.

Founder of The Nerves and The Plimsouls; began solo career in 1986 on Geffen. The debut album was produced with T Bone Burnett and features contributors like Van Dyke Parks, John Hiatt, Roger McGuinn, and Mitchell Froom. The 1989 album ‘The Man With the Blue Postmodern Fragmented Neo‑Traditionalist Guitar’ includes David Hidalgo, Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Mitchell Froom.

Two DeBaser reviews trace Peter Case from power-pop architect to folk-blues storyteller. The 1986 Geffen debut (produced with T Bone Burnett) and 1989’s ‘Blue… Guitar’ mix folk, rock, and blues. Collaborators include David Hidalgo, Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, Mitchell Froom, Van Dyke Parks, John Hiatt, and Roger McGuinn. Themes ride with Springsteen/Dylan/Vanzandt echoes: underdogs, highways, and memory. Overall tone: warm praise for craft and atmosphere.
