Description

It's hard to tell if Jolie Holland really recorded her emotionally raw 2011 album or just let it bleed slowly out of her on the studio floor. The acoustic singer-songwriter's latest effort, appropriately titled Pint of Blood, comes with electric tones reminiscent of Velvet Underground, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and 1970s Neil Young. But the heart-wrenching lyrical intensity found in her 2008 effort The Living and the Dead remains perfectly intact. Hailing from the same record label as Tom Waits and Sage Francis, this intimate performer shares Waits' love for morbid folk music with minor keys and dramatic themes.
