Hold On Magnolia
I was on the road and the final deadline for choosing and recording a song for this record was imminent! Me and the band listened to Jason in the van non-stop for 3 days. He wrote so many amazing songs and it was so hard to choose. The tour was almost over and I was sick as a dog. I kept coming back to "Hold on Magnolia", one of Jason's many road songs. With it's haunted lyrics and aching melody it seemed to fit our mood like a glove.

Bio
Thalia Zedek is a singer and guitarist. Active since the early 1980s, she has been a member of several notable alternative rock groups, including Live Skull and Uzi both of which, according to Spin magazine, "made big noise in the underground",[1] and Come. Critic Heather Phares writes that Zedek's music can be defined by "the permanent, aching rasp in her voice, her guitar's bluesy bite, the startlingly clear-eyed lyrics about life and loss."
