After Jolie Holland left the Canadian alt-folk trio the Be Good Tanyas, she moved into an idiosyncratic form of modern country blues. On her fourth album, THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, Holland approaches a more traditional kind of roots rock, with echoes of Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, and Tom Waits. Holland's smoky, bluesy voice has rarely sounded better than in these sympathetic twang-rock settings, whether on catchy pop-rockers like the opening "Mexico City" or the stark, near-solo ballad "You Painted Yourself In." Guests include Matt Ward (She and Him) and the inimitable guitarist Marc Ribot.

Ward's scraggly hooks....Her honeyed harmonies keep the mood from getting too gloomy."
Spin (p.93) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he shabby rockers and frayed ballads cut deep, especially 'Corrido por Buddy'..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Holland's fourth album -- far and away her strongest -- is flawlessly executed and fearlessly told."
Paste (magazine) (p.65) - "[S]he sounds more commanding and confident than ever on 'Mexico City' and 'Your Big Hands'....Holland half sings/ half laughs the closing cover of Guy Lombardo hit 'Enjoy Yourself,' sounding like she's truly taken that advice to heart."

Living And The Dead album
 $10.39  
Most know Jolie Holland as a member of Vancouver's the Be Good Tanyas. Catalpa is her first album, but it wasn't recorded as such. It had been a demo recording passed around to fans until Neume reviewed it on the internet. The venerable upstart label Anti has given it the proper release it deserves. Holland is a native Texan, and it shows in her songwriting. Her images are rich, though stark and Gothic; ...

Alan Smallwood was born and raised in the Washington DC area. He studied the piano and trumpet at North Carolina School of the Arts. After graduating, he returned to his hometown and toured the club circuit until he joined the infamous local DC group, \"Sinbad\". The group's NYC manager convinced Alan to move to NY where he began composing with the late, great jazz organist, Larry Young. The Broadway composer Peter Link hired Alan as musical director for several rock-theatre productions and for years Alan continued to work with Peter on such shows as his Broadway musical \"King of Hearts\"(the album). During this time Peter and Alan worked closely together developing various artists including Gospel singer Jenny Burton, and singer/actor Mandy Patinkin. In 1983, Alan arranged, performed and conducted a benefit show at Lincoln Center entitled \"With Heartfelt Thanks A Tribute to Lee Strasburg\". Many stars of the silver screen appeared including Martin Sheen, Al Pacino, Drew Barrymore, Richard Dreyfus, Tony Randall, Cheryl Crawford, and Michael Moriarty. In the mid 80\'s, Alan performed with Marilyn McCoo, Eartha Kitt & Della Reese. For a few years Alan left NY and toured the US with Edgar Winter and then with David Clayton-Thomas of \"Blood Sweat & Tears.\" He was hired by Mike Mainieri of \"Steps Ahead\", to compose and arrange music for a solo project of Andy Summers, guitarist with the famed group \"The Police. \" Prior to that, Alan had developed a long lasting relationship with well ...
| | Fingerpistol Young And Beautiful CD (2008)
Living And The Dead songs
$11.49
Fingerpistol, an Americana band from Austin, Texas, was formed in 1999 and released a 12-song CD, "Big, Wet, Sloppy World," in January 2000. It has received airplay on stations in America and Europe, including KDVS 90.3 FM at the University of California at Davis, the Arctic Cactus Hour on KNBA Radio in Alaska, JRRI Radio in Ireland, and Radio ISA in France. From the opening chords of radio hungry 'Goodbye Marie' through its wistful, last chance lyrics, it's the vocal harmony interplay of Fingerpistol that stands out at first. Live on stage, the dynamic presence and vocal confidence of Dan Hardick and Suzee Brooks locks it all together. Blending Texas Country and Southern Rock, their latest CD Young And Beautiful presents the same raw snap-shot visual writing seen among the Texas songwriting elite. Supported by Austin A-Listers Cindy Cashdollar and Landis Armstrong and skilled rythym-regulars Jill Csekitz and Sam Wilson, this is another excellent recording from Kevin Szymanski at Bruce Robison's Premium Studios. Watch out-Fingerpistol is ready to go off. ReviewsGoofy old high school yearbook photos are a fleeting novelty until you're in one of them. That's about the time when the sentimental amalgams of country and classic rock start to make more sense. As the cover art suggests, the title track of Fingerpistol's second album dives straight into that treacherous wellspring and comes out squeaky clean on account of ...
