Before Sunrise
Jess: Do you have any idea what they were arguing about? Do you speak English?
你知道他们在吵什么吗？你会说英语吗？
Celine: Yeah. No, I’m sorry, my German is not very good. Have you ever heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to hear each other.
会，不好意思，我的德语不太好. 你听说过吗，夫妻在一起久了，就会失去倾听对方的能力。
Jess: No. 没有
Celine: Well, supposedly, men lose the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds and women eventually lose hearing in the low end. I guess they sort of nullify each other, or something.
据说，男人会失去听高音的能力，而女人不能听见低音。我想他们这是在忽略对方。
Jess: I guess. Nature’s way of allowing couples to grow up together without killing each other.
我想这是自然界的规律。这样他们就能携手到老而不会因为忍受不了彼此而将对方杀害。
Jess: What are you reading? Oh yeah.
你看的什么书？ 这本书啊
Celine: How about you? Em. 你呢？ 嗯
Jess: Look, I was thinking about going to the lounge car sometime soon. Would you like to come with me?
我想去餐厅吃点东西. 你想和我一块来吗？
Celine: Yeah. 好的
Jess: okay. 走吧

olie Holland and Samantha Parton have known each other for nearly two decades, briefly making music together when they co-founded Vancouver’s the Be Good Tanyas — with Frazey Ford and Trish Klein — in 1999. While Holland left the band after its 2000 debut album, she knew that wasn’t the end.

“When I left,” Holland said in a statement, “I didn’t feel like I was done making music with Sam.”

Wildflower Blues is the result of that resolve. Seven original songs plus three covers — Townes Van Zandt’s “You Are Not Needed Now,” Michael Hurley’s “Jocko's Lament” and a rewrite of Bob Dylan’s “Minstrel Boy” — make up this first album for Holland and Parton as a duo. And from the sound of their flawless, supportive harmonies and the space they make for each other on every track, it can’t be the last.

Parton was still recovering from two serious car accidents — in 2012 and 2013 — when Holland contacted her to work together.

“When Jolie called me up, I was so sick of lying on my back staring at the ceiling in a doctor’s office, that I was ready to say yes to anything, whether I could do it or not,” Parton said. “I knew I could trust her to be supportive and understanding, even if I wasn’t at full capacity. She was an outstretched hand to me at a moment when I really needed that.”

The two started writing together, then headed out on a small road-testing tour — as much for the songs as for Parton, for her to ease “back into the grind of soundchecks, long drives and late nights.” After that proved successful, they recorded their album in the Portland, Ore., studio of Mike Coykendall (She & Him, Bright Eyes, M. Ward), with Stevie Weinstein-Foner (guitar), Jared Samuel (piano, bass, guitar) and Justin Veloso (drums).

While Wildflower Blues slides comfortably between its Americana contemporaries, Holland’s insistence that “the idea of genre is really unattractive” is apparent throughout. Whether it’s the bluesy bassline of the title track, Holland’s distinctive vocals pulling out the final plea of “Make it up to Me,” the quiet testament of the harmonies on “Little Black Bear” — a song that appeared on the Be Good Tanyas' A Collection but, as Parton emailed, "felt unfinished, until Jolie helped write a third verse" — or that sharp whistle on “Jocko’s Lament,” Wildflower Blues is, more than anything, about the relationship between two kindreds finding their voices together again.
