    I call this lazy, Sunday morning music but I play it all the time. Beautiful

    Fantastic. The best artist I have come across in quite some time. Holland can sing the blues with the best of them.

    Mad Tom of Bedlam makes me crazy.

    Jolie is the best thing to happen to music since the gee-tar.

    Another relaxed but enigmatic foray into modernist roots territory to stand alongside records by Gillian Welch, Laura Veirs, Sparklehorse and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. [Jun 2004, p.98]

    It really is incredibly good, even if sometimes it's hard to feel you're hearing the real Jolie and not a character she's adopted. [Jun 2004, p.110]

    It's the voice that does it - all hazy smoke and dusty cotton, this time sounding like she's channelling Billie Holiday.
