John Doe and Neko Case Perform 'Hwy 5' Live on Conan O'Brien Show

Venue: Conan O'Brien Show Location: New York, NY, United States Date: March 31, 2005

In 2005, Neko Case was riding a wave of critical acclaim with her album "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood," which had been released just a year prior. This live recording of her performance alongside John Doe on Conan provides a powerful glimpse into her artistic evolution just as she was firmly establishing herself in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, Case's signature blend of alt-country and rock was a defining element during this period, showcasing her unique storytelling ability and emotive vocals. Collaborating with prominent artists like Doe, known for his role in the band X, illustrates her alignment within a community of influential musicians. This performance not only reflects her growing prominence but also the intimate, heartfelt connection she shares with her audience, a theme that resonates through her work.
