"Alley Flowers" by Jolie Holland from the album 'Catalpa' Download the album on iTunes: bit.ly/1iCrvYo / jolieholland / jolieholland www.joliehollan...
Buck Meek of Big Thief says " Catalpa was the first album that really taught me why we write songs. About necessity, about mythology’s role in survival. It taught me how to build an altar. It taught me how to honor a friend. It taught me how to whistle and about the power of rhythm guitar (Jolie is a train). It taught me to live first and then document. It taught me that truth put to melody is all you need. You can hear the room on this album, the city. You can feel the birds on the line, the people on the street, the time of day, the phone rings, a cough, a dog bark. Catalpa is a habitable environment. It taught me that we can live forever...."

a voice like a shimmering waterfall paired with a song full of beauty and mystery...too magical for words.
You did well! ❤
Wonderful, to Jolie, thank you.
Is Anti re-releasing this? I love everything Jolie has done, but man oh man is this a great album!
Wow what a pretty voice
I hear an Ali farke toure groove along with native -ish drum. I have wanted to wed AFT groove to folk for years. 💛🙏🌚🌞🐲
Either you're hearing what you want to hear, or you and Jolie Holland are on the astral plane together.
I can hear that in the mix with some Appalachia as well…
I remember buying this album and queuing it up... "Some people say I have psychedelic presence"
Been transfixed ever since.
This is my driving to Portugal album
Thanks to Guy Garvey for bringing me here.
But how's her Black Lung...
