"Twist the Knife" comes off Furnace Room Lullaby, the second album by Neko Case and Her Boyfriends, released on Mint Records in February 2000. Case wrote it with Ryan Adams, Mike Daly and John Ramberg, and she sings it with a voice big enough to fill a honky-tonk from the parking lot.
The Boyfriends here are a loose gang of guests: Travis Good on acoustic and electric guitar, Evan Johns and Ramberg adding more electric guitar, Ramberg singing backup too, Scott Betts on bass and Joel Trueblood on drums, with Kevin Kane stepping up for the 12-string solo. Darryl Neudorf recorded it, and the result is a lean, twanging heartbreaker with a knife-edge of menace.
