Jolie Holland: Pint of Blood

Listen to Jolie Holland’s Pint of Blood in its entirety here. “I can’t believe you’re treating me like all those girls,” Jolie Holland sings early on her fifth album. “All those sweet girls go home to cry.” You won’t believe it either: The Texas-born, San Francisco-based singer-songwriter is unique among all those girls.
