Album Notes

"Laced with colorful electronics and textural subtleties that make this stunning folk pop feel almost orchestral, Jessie Holladay, like Kate Fenner or Leni Stern or an incredibly more creative Shawn Colvin, weaves a mesmerizing atmosphere of bittersweet, poignant, totally charming and moving pop- earthy, rootsy, with light touches of twang that tug at the heart strings. The way whiskey seems to warm every chilly cell in your body, radiating from your gut, this folk pop is both cozy and intoxicating."

"A gorgeous album that is reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies, Lucinda Williams and Beth Orton. The sound is beautiful, crisp, clear and lush with tenderness. I love it when I get albums and I can hear the love and passion the artist has for their music. Every ounce of this disc works." Dustin Landrum, Shut Eye Records

"Honest, thoughtful, heartfelt music sung with a sweet softness and sincerity, these songs are crafted with a unique, slightly eccentric sense of melody and rhythm that is at once exotic and familiar. Creative, unpretentious, and not easily categorized, Jessie's songs are a welcome departure from the "more of the same".

"My ears have been a bit saturated recently. In order to recover I've retreated to what I think of as "pure" music.....Coltrane, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sinatra, The Beatles, and Jessie Holladay. Her new album, Home Sweet Home, takes me to a place I like to go back to over and over again." Don Conoscenti

Jessie Holladay gifts us with her astounding first release...
author: Janna Leigh, 91.9 KRVM, Eugene, Oregon
As a community radio DJ, I hear hundreds of artists each month. Very few capture and hold my attention. Jessie Holladay has an extraordinary voice and talent for stunning the listener into thought provoking silence and soul connecting realizations about humanity and life, and love, and all that appears in between. "Home Sweet Home" is a mesmerizing, profoundly beautiful album that I love to play over and over when I’m at home. Tonight, I’m actually having withdrawal symptoms at not being able to hear it because I loaned it out to another DJ. That’s powerful stuff! Thank you Jessie!...
