\"Jolie<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night Jolie Holland<\/a> played\u00a0at The Basement<\/a> in York. A small and low-hanging room with a bar attached, located underneath the City Screen Picturehouse, the venue \u2013 which once seemed to focus on comedy, with intermittent appearances from across the more marginal performing arts \u2013 is showing renewed vigour as a place for foreign cinema and international music. It was fantastic to have Jolie in the city, in a performance coordinated by the Brudenell Social Club and Please Please You.<\/p>\n

Jolie was supported first by Sam Airey<\/a>, a Welsh singer-songwriter who co-runs Hide & Seek Records out of Leeds. Airey closed his short set with a tender rendition of Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u2018No Surrender\u2019 from Born in the U.S.A.<\/em>, sustaining the song with droning effects on the guitar. Next came Danni Nicholls<\/a>, who impressed courtesy of her resonant voice and outgoing stage manner \u2013 managing to retain the good will of the audience in spite of her bold risk-taking, as she\u00a0required them to sing then hum along to her compositions.<\/p>\n

Blending elements of soul, country, and pop rock into a thoroughgoing take on Americana, Nicholls is set to release her second album, Mockingbird Lane<\/em>, later this year; although copies were available last night, and have already been distributed digitally to fans eager to pay for the experience. Helping to fund her\u00a0work\u00a0through PledgeMusic \u2013 which rejects\u00a0the \u2018crowdfunding\u2019 label, terming itself instead a \u2018Direct-to-Fan\u2019 platform \u2013 as with her 2013 debut A Little Redemption<\/em>, Mockingbird Lane<\/em> was recorded in Nashville, over the course of January. The album\u00a0features Nashville stalwarts\u00a0Chris Donohue, Will Kimbrough, and Stephen Leiweke, plus guest spots from Billy Livsey and Brandy Zdan.<\/p>\n

Given\u00a0the somewhat cramped confines of The Basement, Jolie Holland was happily without any semblance of a full band. Instead, she played seated alongside Stevie Weinstein-Foner, who provided us guitar, harmonium, vocal accompaniment, and his own\u00a0brand of \u2018sit-down\u2019 comedy, with which Jolie freely and merrily engaged.<\/p>\n

This show was plenty fun. Jolie\u2019s voice, intuitive as ever, was in fine form, and with Weinstein-Foner she was wonderfully relaxed, expounding between songs on wide-ranging\u00a0subjects: from New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, and the presence of bald eagles, to navigational escapades, Townes Van Zandt (Weinstein-Foner recalled the joke told by Townes on the Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas<\/em> double album, which has two drunks debating whether the orb in the sky is the sun or the moon \u2013 only for a third to appear and equivocate, protesting \u2018Aw I don\u2019t know man, I ain\u2019t from this neighborhood\u2019), and Julian of Norwich, whose church the pair visited before their show on Monday.<\/p>\n

Demonstrating\u00a0a diverse setlist, \u2018Honey Girl\u2019, the penultimate track on 2011\u2019s Pint of Blood<\/a><\/em>, opened the performance \u2013 though the song was momentarily interrupted by a wilting microphone stand, which saw Jolie\u2019s microphone repeatedly droop just out of reach. \u2018Gold and Yellow\u2019 from the same album followed; and then \u2018On and On\u2019, the first song on Wine Dark Sea<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Interviewing Jolie earlier this week<\/a>, I asked about the challenge of transposing the songs on Wine Dark Sea<\/em> \u2013 which were recorded with three additional guitarists, a bassist, and two drummers plus other instruments \u2013 to a live setting.\u00a0Jolie responded, \u2018Many\u00a0of the songs are composed as templates. I want the performance to be of\u00a0the moment\u2019. The structural integrity of Jolie\u2019s music, her strength as a composer and her ability to fluidly navigate any given song was evident throughout\u00a0\u2018On and On\u2019: though Jolie suggested that the nature\u00a0of the performance meant this was the quietest we would ever hear her play, the piece maintained\u00a0its rumbling, pleading, openhearted intensity.<\/p>\n

Taking now from the earlier part of her career, from\u00a0Springtime Can Kill You<\/em> came a warm interpretation of the album-closer \u2018Mexican Blue\u2019. There was a lithe rendering of \u2018Old Fashioned Morphine\u2019 from Escondida<\/em> \u2013 Jolie joking that despite the frequency of her requests, there never seems to be much morphine on offer. And then from The Living and the Dead<\/em> the cool \u2018Palmyra\u2019, \u2018Only a few old petals left \/\u00a0On the rose that touched your hand \/\u00a0My little heart is a graveyard \/\u00a0It\u2019s a no man\u2019s land\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lou Reed\u2019s death occurred approaching two years ago now, but for an artist who\u00a0gave such a wealth of great songwriting, and whose music continues to prove foundational for so many listeners \u2013 who, moreover, came\u00a0to stand casually as something like the artistic conscience of the music business; remaining vital as a musician, as a bandleader and champion of new talent, and as a critic \u2013 his loss is barely sensible and still seeping in. Upon his death back in 2013,\u00a0David Ivar\/Black Yaya wrote a \u2018Song for Lou Reed\u2019<\/a>. Having supported and played on stage with Jolie over\u00a0a couple of tour dates last week, last night Jolie and Weinstein-Foner performed Black Yaya\u2019s fond commemoration.<\/p>\n

\u2018First Sign of Spring\u2019, again from Wine Dark Sea<\/em>, was another of the evening\u2019s highlights, building to a winding climax. It was succeeded by \u2018Route 30\u2019, and with \u2018Tender Mirror\u2019 some of Jolie\u2019s\u00a0beautifully clear whistling, as Weinstein-Foner took up the harmonium. After an adept cover of Townes Van Zandt\u2019s \u2018You Are Not Needed Now\u2019, from High, Low, and In Between<\/em> \u2013 \u2018I was thinkin\u2019 hang on, man, something\u2019s wrong \/\u00a0Your blues they do seem to be gone \/\u00a0Heaven ain\u2019t bad but you don\u2019t get nothing done\u2019 \u2013 the show came to a close with \u2018Mexico City\u2019, the Beat Generation-cum-James Joyce lead track from The Living and the Dead<\/em>. The evening\u2019s curfew had already passed, but this was a fitting way to end such an enjoyable and absorbing event.<\/p>\n
