Anti's lovely Jolie Holland is playing at Eddie's Attic in Decatur tonight in support of her latest album, "The Living and The Dead," which was released October 7. With guest appearances from M. Ward (My Morning Jacket, She & Him) and Marc Ribot (Elvis Costello, Tom Waits), the Living ...
Wistful Americana torch singer and former Be Good Tanya, Jolie Holland takes to the road next week in support of her latest, electrified effort, The Living and the Dead (via ANTI-), which features cameos from M Ward and Marc Ribot. It's too bad that so many venues have gone smoke-free, as smoke-filled rooms accent perfectly the intimately dark, roots-tinged western folk that radiates through mo...

Jolie Holland - "Mexico City" . The "free" song from Jolie Holland's The Living & the Dead and it's splendid, golden, with enough swells of feeling to swell your heart even on a sullen, sodden, storm-soaked day. M Ward is on guitar but I'm not complaining - anything that gives Jolie Holland the chance to sing, to sing, not to sing along but just to sing. Her voice still full of briar. [info ] ...
Honestly, the lineup at IDOW 2- Electric Boogaloo was pretty stellar top to bottom. I mean, for artists like Jill Barber, Buck65, Ana Egge, Ruth Minnikin and Rich Aucoin to play second fiddle to Friday Night's lineup speaks volumes (and that's not even counting Al Tuck playing with an eight-piece band), but for me, that's what happened. Friday night was three musicians in the perfect setting, ...
web site Ms. Jolie Holland 's voice is a powerful instrument, one as identifiable as any in music. Unlike so many others that push jazzy arrangements into pop songs, nothing about the way she twists sounds ever seems too perfect and that's what makes her songs so real and vivid. It's also what makes her songs so rewarding. A great writer knows when to bend the rules of grammar and structure t...
"Palmyra" - Jolie Holland I love the timeless, deep-hearted quality of the music here, as well as Holland's fetchingly textured voice. Starting simply, with the acoustic guitar up front, the song picks up depth and punch when the drums and electric guitar kick in in full force, after about a minute. The electric guitarist is the masterly Marc Ribot, who plays with great invention and yet,...
Jolie Holland is a dark angel of song and this is a track from her upcoming album, The Living & The Dead. While the arrangement here is more rock than her previous recordings in the way that Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited was more rock than Another Side of Bob Dylan, her lovely voice is as unique as ever, flirting with jazz, folk and rock a way that only Jolie Holland can pull off. I love this so...
I don't want to cloud this post up with to many words but I was listening to Minneapolis' listener supported radio station 89.3 the Current this last weekend. (which I rarely do) This tingles my spine for some reason. This train done rolled over me. Enjoy!
