Hollye B's career has already taken her from New York dancer to punk frontwoman to vocalist in Mike Campbell's Dirty Knobs and now as a compelling Americana singer-songwriter. Hollye joins me to talk about the modern classic album from Jenny Lewis, 2008's 'Acid Tongue'.
We delve into how Hollye discovered Jenny through Grey's Anatomy while in high school, how the album balances artistic freedom and expansiveness with discipline, Jenny's genius at creating intimacy as a vocalist, sexism in the indie world, how the album and its creation harkens back to the 70s Laurel Canyon scene, the sprawling cast of LA backing musicians featured across the album, how Lewis marries different forms and approaches in her lyrics and more.
