In 1996, the Plimsouls reunited for the first of several reunions. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Case continued to release albums as a solo performer, moving in an increasingly acoustic-oriented direction, and playing clubs and small venues. "Torn Again" was followed by "Full Service No Waiting" (1998), "Flying Saucer Blues" (2000), and "Beeline" (2002) all on Vanguard, in addition to "Thank You St. Jude" (2001), a self-released CD that featured David Perales on fiddle and background vocals. In a review of "Flying Saucer Blues," critic Bill Wasserzieher declared, "I am convinced that nobody of Case's generation writes better songs or does better work in the tradition of Woody Guthrie."
