Wine Dark Sea is the title of the sixth album Texas-born singer Jolie Holland has made since she quit the Vancouver-based Be Good Tanyas and struck out on her own a little over a decade ago. And in that time she’s covered a lot of ground with her highly personalised music.

Nick Bollinger reviews the latest from Texan singer-songwriter Jolie Holland.
