to truly understand jolie holland you have to see her live. never giving the same performance twice, jolie has been known to walk off stage when she doesn't feel she is proving herself worthy of the music she plays (what an alt country diva!).
but when she does get it right, her thick dreamy voice, matched with pale porcelain skin, creates a magical experience that channels stories from her made up past. blending americana, jazz and folk, jolie holland has slowly created a rabid fanbase over her three album career that includes tom waits, nick cave and billy bragg on her camp.
it's her three albums that speak for this native texan. introspective, classic and beautiful at the same time, get a feel of this amazing talent with some tracks below.
for a brief time, jolie holland's myspace site is offering two tracks from her latest album springtime can kill you
jolie holland - springtime can kill you
jolie holland - crazy dreams
also from her 2nd album escondida
jolie holland - old fashioned morphine
if you like what you hear check out a track from her 1st album catalpa
jolie holland - all the morning birds
there's more on her website.
