Magnolia Electric Co - Josephine
Review by David Chu
Josephine by Magnolia Electric Co. is a captivating album that showcases the band's unique blend of alternative country and indie rock. From start to finish, the album is filled with haunting melodies and poignant lyrics that draw the listener in and refuse to let go.
The album's title track, "Josephine," is a standout, with its slow, mournful pace and frontman Jason Molina's raw, emotive vocals. "The Rock of Ages" is another highlight, featuring a driving beat and a powerful chorus that is sure to get stuck in your head.

- Sticker on packaging:
- "Molina's familiar lyrical allegories are still intact. But here, in what is no doubt his strongest set of songs since the inception of Magnolia Electric Co., those classic themes take on new meanings. This band has approached the universal loneliness before, but never in such a focused, directed manner as found on Josephine."

write for an eternity, visit with his Mother Karen, grandmother and grandfather. And best of all sit at the feet of Jesus.
I felt Jason strongly tonight. I am sure he has earned his wings and permission to fly down an observe all his friends and kin folk.
If you feel a slight breeze, you have been kissed by an Angel named Jason.
Looking always over my shoulder; exactly what I wanted to find was already mine.
Josephine, Josephine
But I saw the horizon and I had to know where it all ends.
I lived so long with the shadows, Lord, I became one of them.
Oh what a fool I've been.
Oh what a fool I've been. Josephine, Josephine
Now I take the hand I took for granted and I set it free.
Oh what a fool I've been
Oh what a fool I've been. Josephine, Josephine
Some folks see the horizon and never need to know how it all ends
Leave the shadows behind; don't go chasing after 'em.
You lock the door and put them old records on. I hear you crying along.
Oh what a fool I've been
Oh what a fool I've been.
No more will the final words be the tears in your eyes.
Oh how I tried.
Oh how I tried.
Oh Josephine, you are free.
Oh Josephine, Josephine.
Thanks Jason.
