Jolie Holland at the Bootleg Theater Tonight ..Jason Bentley was spinning Jolie Holland’s track “Gold and Yellow” off her new album “Pint of Blood” quite a bit this summer. For the first couple spins I thought, “Is this new Lucinda Williams?” until I finally realized it was the husky vocals of the Texas native, who was one of the founding members of beloved Americana band The Be Good Tanyas. The album, her fifth solo release, was recorded mostly live in her home studio and you can feel the warmth in the songs. It’s a perfect fit for this ...KCRW5 October 2011

Jolie Holland - Pint of BloodAnti | 2011 | Album Reviewed By: Jaime Hypes Review Date: 8/11/2011 Rating (out of 10): 7 - Very enjoyable. Jolie Holland has always been loved by critics and artists alike. However, her previous albums have all been an attempt to separate her solo work from her band The Be Good Tanyas, but have never quite done so. It quickly becomes clear that Pint of Blood has been the album Holland has needed. She has finally come into her own as a solo artist, and leaves no comparison to her previous band, or even her previous solo efforts. Holland's voice ...Kevchino.com11 August 2011

Track of the Day..."Firecracker" from Frazey ..Frazey Ford "Firecracker" Obadiah Nettwerk 2010 Listen to "Firecracker" MP3 Canadian singer-songwriter and The Be Good Tanyas founder Frazey Ford has crafted a skilled solo debut called Obadiah . The title is taken from her middle name and her personal feel is felt throughout the album. Her track “Firecracker” brings to mind a lazy days Sunday walk with no troubles in the world.

Soulful Twangs To Melt Beer-Soaked Hearts: F ..With Sufjan Stevens receding into a loveless mire of self-loathing, ditching banjos in favour of stroke-inducing strings for latest effort The Age of Adz , Frazey Ford of The Be Good Tanyas asserts ownership of the soulful twang that melts beer-soaked hearts and sanity in equal measure. Obadiah, Ford's debut solo LP conjures images of sunrise over misty hills in the recesses of even the most wilted mind, a recorded embodiment of down-the-back-of-the-sofa US of A. And all this courtesy of a Canadian... Opener Firecracker rattles and rolls down lolloping rhythms, simmering beneath ecclesiastical epiphany to the tune of Dusty ...Dots & Dashes2 November 2010
