Madeleine Peyroux
Careless Love
MFSL 1-284 180 gram Audiophile LP
Peyroux is the real deal. She brushes off comparisons to Billie Holiday, but it's certainly not bad company to keep. This is a beautiful record flowing with sparse arrangements and sultry vocals. If you like Norah
wait until you hear this! The 12 songs found on Carless Love feature a mix of acoustic blues, country ballads and torch songs showcasing Peyroux's sultry alto. Highlights include Dont' Wait Too Long composed by Perouyx, producer Larry Klien (of Joni Mitchell fame) and Jesse Harris (best know for his contributions to Norah Jones' hit album, Come Away With Me). Also exemplary are Peyroux's warm renditions of Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love and a lightly-swinging arrangement of Bob Dylan's You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You go.
