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!

Jolie Holland is one of my favorite artists. She has the most beautiful voice -- she's been compared to Billie Holiday and kiaren Dalton, but it's a unique voice, truly like no other. She writes moving songs about love and life. I love her three albums, and you see an artist contuing to grow and evolve if you listen to them in order. First Catalpa, then Escondida, and finally Springtime Can Kil...

Thanks to Mog, Jim and I had a killer time last night seeing Jolie Holland at the very-crowded-but-sweet-crowd at the legendary Fillmore, my most favorite venue in town. We were close up, about 8 layers back. Only good things happen here.Jolie's sound was full, her voice luscious and strong, her musical talents oozing from the piano, the violin, the guitar. Her backing band of horns, strings, b...

"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,...

Best album I've heard this year is the upcoming Jolie Holland masterpiece, Springtime Can Kill You. I've been a huge fan since I heard Jolie's debut, Catalpa, but I think this one tops both Catalpa and Escondida. Holland has an amazing, idiosyncratic voice and approach to singing, her songwriting is very strong and she has really pushed herself musically. (Tom Waits is a big fan, by the way.)Co...

I made a post earlier today about Jane as Police Woman and mentioned Jolie Holland at the end...I realized that Jolie's stuff is compelling enough to warrant her own post."Jolie with her twin great uncles, Bud & Bud--the Hooper Twins. Sitting in on drums is the excellent Bobbie Wayne Mains, Great Aunt to a Dixie Chick."picture and caption from jolieholland.comInspired by extraordinarypoems post...

Jolie Holland releases a new video for her song Mexico City - from her third and latest album The Living and the Dead. The album was released last week by ANTI- Records. It's been a couple years since we've written about or even listened to this songbird, but I'm glad we were re-introduced yesterday...beautiful stuff.Jolie Holland on tour with Herman Dune:10-14 SOhO Restaurant & Music Club ...

So I keep seeing the Jolie Holland contest advertised on here and I keep saying that I'm going to give some of her songs a listen. I finally did today and, I must admit, I'm quite impressed. Her voice is really unique sounding... smooth and twangy at the same time... (You should know that I'm going through a twangy phase right now. I hope that doesn't detract from my credibility.) I decided to ...
