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 song and can't wait for the album.
Recently, Anti released the album cover for Jolie Holland's upcoming "The Living and the Dead", and it looks excellent as always. She has always put herself on her album covers, mostly in photographs but once in a drawing.

Her backing band of horns, strings, bass, drum were all fantastic and comforting. Wow. We were really, really blow... MORE
My husband and I often host a get to-gathering of musicians that begins to assemble around 8 in the evening. Our friends wind their way up our road to our little house in the trees to bring their instruments or just borrow one of ours, to share, to change the scenery, to press record and go home in the morning with a silver disk full of the night's musical contents. Lukebible brought a saw one night and I've been forever changed since. Though I've never had the urge to ... MORE
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 start with her first album, Escondida, which I like a lot so far. At first liste... MORE
