A Conversation with Jolie Holland (continued)

PM: What about the spiritual side of life? Do you personally walk any particular road?

JH: I'm just a plain old mystic.

PM: [laughs] I didn't know that you were so plain and old.

[laughter]

JH: I'm an old lady. I'm going to be 29 next month.

PM: I know. It's amazing you're still getting around.

[laughter]

PM: "I'm just a plain old mystic..." And is your mom a plain old mystic?

JH: She resisted it for a while, but I think so. She's going through her atheist phase right now.

PM: Oh, yeah, well, we got to go through that.

JH: Yeah.

PM: She's not even calling it agnostic?

JH: I think she's pissed off at God right now.

PM: Yeah, it happens. [laughs] On the other hand, she and the folks in Texas where you're just coming through must be pretty impressed with how it's going for you, right?

JH: I guess so, yeah.

PM: Come on, it's going pretty cool. I mean... [laughs]

So, okay, one last question. What do you think the year holds? Are you and your agent looking to get on a tour, or would you rather headline good smaller venues?

JH: I'm headlining, mostly. And I've been on tour since April, so I'm really looking forward to just going home and cooking and hanging out with my roommates.

PM: Well, what a neat person you sound like, it's very nice of you to give us some time today.

JH: It's fun to talk to you.

PM: I love your music. And I hope to run into you in person, either when I am out in the Bay Area, or when you come to Nashville next time. You'll be on our cover next month with another great kind of a jazzy songwriter named Rebecca Martin from the city. And you're really two very different songwriters, so it'll be a cool cover. And both really amazing people.

JH: Well, sweet. I really appreciate it. And I'm looking forward to checking it out.

PM: Thanks, Jolie. You take care of yourself.

JH: You, too. Bye-bye.
