With its smoky speakeasy atmosphere, old-timey instrumentation, and pre-rock aesthetic, Jolie Holland's third album, Springtime Can Kill You, is a record-collection album that seems more interested in acetate than vinyl- her sound reaches back to Prohibition, and these dozen songs seem soaked in hooch and hung out to dry with last night's flapper dress. On one hand, she occasionally seems torn between the past and the present, but in a noncommittal way- for "Moonshiner" she pointedly gives "props to Memphis Minnie and Freakwater" in the liner notes.

Summary: This is the second studio solo set for the folk singer-songwriter who also performs with the Be Good Tanyas.

Her third album suffers in places from an attack of earnestness: it makes Nothing to Do But Dream, a spooky tale of fratricide, drag and closing track Mexican Blue sag under the weight of its own poetics.
