As Springtime Can Kill You moves through its 12 tracks, it goes from a jazzy feel to a more country twang. "Moonshiner" tosses in the echoey sound of a lap steel guitar, while her spin on the traditional folk song "Adieu False Heart” has a bluegrass color to it. The album's centerpiece is the seven-minute "Nothing To Do But Dream," a morbid epic about a murderess's remorse and confessions. "I can't go crazy and I can't get sane," Holland sings. Would that she stays balanced on the knife's edge a little longer if it helps her make more albums like Springtime Can Kill You.
