I just downloaded Jukebox and The Covers Record

Jukebox is awesome! Amazing!

Covers, not so much so...but decent

7. hey nice thanks!
I forgot that it was her, I'm so used to her songs coming up at random when I'm walking or in the shower or whatever. I love this song.

3. I love her voice
The Greatest is one of my fav songs from that year.

This year has been really slow so far music-wise :(

4. She's also on the "I'm Not There" soundtrack.
she sings Stuck inside of Mobile...

The Greatest is very nice, and You Are Free (both cds, not just songs)

Do you know Jolie Holland? She's also great... not like Cat Power's smokey voice, but she's sort of alt folk (was a founding member of the Be Good Tanyas). She's intentionally low fi-ish...sort of like a young, southern female Tom Waits.

here are some YouTube vids.

I like them/her pretty much. My best friend's crazy about her, he's seen her in concert a few times.
Her hair looks like mine, badly died ends waiting to be cut off lol

(I like I Don't Blame You the best I think)

9. I'm not sure - plan it without me
Things here in sales are touch and go, so I never know where I'll be sent next.

The sales call in Delaware has been postponed...and who knows when it will come back up
