Neko Case's tribute to Dexter Romweber, “Winchester Mansion of Sound,” has been named to The Bluegrass Situation's list, "Class of 2025: The Year in Roots Music."
“Dex was a massive inspiration to Neko, and this track from her new album 'Neon Grey Midnight Green' is a hauntingly beautiful "eulogy" for a kindred spirit. As writer David Menconi notes, this is just one of many 2025 "Romweber afterlife artifacts," including his posthumous induction into the North Carolina Music Hall Of Fame and his depiction in the TV series The Runarounds.
Of all the honors this year, Menconi calls this song "the best of all," a perfect nod to the "wild, recurve guitar" that still kicks us all in the heart.
Thank you, Neko, for keeping the music alive.”

I still think of you
And your wild, recurve guitar
Only you can play so far out of tune
And still kick me in the heart
I only hear things second hand
And consider you from far away-way-way-way
You’re like some silent movie star
Swanning off to heaven,
Or Arizona,
Or wherever they’d go...
And I know you fight to keep it all aligned
You’re too much life for just one body-body-body
Your gravity un-designs you all the time
And I remember, I remember…
We walked under that railway bridge
At the furious pace of the unhinged
Unbound together
You said things too wild for just one night
I’m yours forever, always was
One foot follows another— one by one by one by one
Down in the sand forever
Only music is forever
(And) you’re a Winchester Mansion of sound
If you think I’m talkin’ bout romance
You’re not listening
There’s too much life
For just one lifetime
So you string a few together
Just to bang them all around
And build a tragedy’s momentum:
You’re a Winchester Mansion of sound
Mad strides deliver
A tender psychic river
We slip out of tune together
An emergency— your eyes
In the grip of recognition
You echo back a wilderness
A Winchester Mansion of sound
I’m yours forever
Down in the sand forever
Only music is forever
You’re a Winchester Mansion of sound
Down down, baby, down by the roller coaster......
And your wild, recurve guitar
Only you can play so far out of tune
And still kick me in the heart
I only hear things second hand
And consider you from far away-way-way-way
You’re like some silent movie star
Swanning off to heaven,
Or Arizona,
Or wherever they’d go...
And I know you fight to keep it all aligned
You’re too much life for just one body-body-body
Your gravity un-designs you all the time
And I remember, I remember…
We walked under that railway bridge

You said things too wild for just one night
I’m yours forever, always was

Only music is forever
