Product Description:
With a vocal style hailed by the Village Voice as "sultry and sweet, despairing and lonely", Jolie has experimented in the past with various settings for her unique, jazz-inflected voice. This time working with such collaborators as M. Ward (She & Him, My Morning Jacket) and Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello), she has embraced both the rocking side of her roots, and the compositional possibilities of the studio, multi-tracking her voice for the first time. The results have intensified the evocative moodiness of her music but also brought out a rollicking looseness.

To her credit, Jolie Holland is growing as an artist, and making good use of the admiration she's received from industry greats. That being said, I don't think this is her best effort. I'd put it at #3 in her catalog, behind the extraordinary Catalpa and the delicious Springtime Can Kill You, but ahead of the less certain Escondida. But this is also the closest she's come to a "rock" album, which might make it more accessible for some. And the production is excellent.
Of course, ... Read More

At first I was a little put off by the seemingly less unique sound of this CD. I was wrong. Yes, it's a little more accessible, but it has depth and keeps growing on every listen. She's truly one of the essential American artists of this generation. May she continue to write and sing.

I just saw Jolie perform at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta. Truly incredible performance. Effortless performance done to perfection. My friend, who had never heard of her, told me in the first 30 seconds, "I'm in love." I have followed Jolie's music since I first heard of her on Catalpa. My favorite is "Springtime can kill you", but this record is really growing on me fast. If you get a chance go see this great american artist live. She's so friendly. After the show at Eddie's Attic, she gladly had her ... Read More

With The Living and the Dead, Jolie Holland continues to find her way towards normalcy yet still delivers a good, and at times great album. Springtime Can Kill You grew on me quite slowly over the past couple years, and I think that's where I'm at with The Living and the Dead.
The weirdest thing about this album is that it has her biggest stars to date (namely Marc Ribot and M. Ward) yet musically it's sometimes her most generic album. As much as I love some of these songs, they'd be ... Read More

I was caught by this album when I first heard it, I was really surprised by how listenable it is. While this album does lack the gorgeous smoky darkness and textures of Springtime, The Living and The Dead, is still a brilliant album. The atmosphere is surrendered for a more lively collection of songs, but the songs are still brilliantly arranged and preformed. And the melodies are better. For me the Lyrics aren't as good as on Springtime, but the construction of the songs themselves are better, they ... Read More
