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

    Mad Tom of Bedlam makes me crazy.

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

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

    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.
