Album Notes & Community Reviews

The first widely distributed studio album from the founding Be Good Tanyas member is a stunningly intimate exploration of vintage Americana. Holland's unique, Billie Holiday-inflected vocal delivery breathes new life into highly nostalgic, acoustic old-time folk structures, conveying a profound sense of introspective longing.
