Jolie Holland Conjures the Supernatural with 'The Living and the Dead'new

Jolie Holland Transitions from Musician to Iconnew
Holland's new album The Living And the Dead (her first to really utilize a producer) is so good that everything that came before it seems like a pleasurable blur, although all of her previous, more immediately folky work is deservedly acclaimed and worth checking out in earnest.
