Peter Case

In 1976, Peter Case teamed up with Jack Lee and Paul Collins in to form the new wave band The Nerves in San Francisco. The group's 1976 single, Hanging on the Telephone, was later recorded by Blondie.

When the Nerves disbanded, Case moved to Los Angeles and formed the pop-rock band The Plimsouls, which disbanded shortly afterwards.

Case struck out on his own with a self-titled album released in 1986, produced by T-Bone Burnett. The record included a number of songs co-written by his wife Victoria Williams, and also featured the talents of John Hiatt and of Roger McGuinn of The Byrds. One of the songs on the album, Old Blue Car, was nominated for a Grammy award.

Case has since released a number of albums that have received critical acclaim, if not commercial success. His standing as an artist in the rock, country and folk arenas was confirmed with the 2005 release A Case For Case - a 3 CD tribute album featuring the great and good of Americana music.
