Madeleine on Careless Love
"It is always a choice opportunity to try and cover a great songwriter’s work. This record is one of those precious opportunities."
"I am in love with every one of these songwriters as well as their songs. I was eager to make that heard during the recordings."

No false emotion: Madeleine Peyroux returns to interpret the greats
By Alan Lewis (5/27/2005)for the Vermont Guardian
- Third album by Lady Day devotee from Athens, Georgia
Norah Jones and Jane Monheit may have spawned a cutesy genre of jazz-lite
chirping, but it's one that Peyroux neatly sidesteps. Here, less is
definitely more. Accompanied by piano, guitar, string bass, lightly brushed
snare drum and occasional gospel organ, Careless Love has the same
live-in-the-studio ambience that made Peggy Lee's Black Coffee a benchmark
album. An interpretive artist as opposed to a nothing-to-say
singer-songwriter, Peyroux avoids the overworked wine bar songbook,
bringing new sensibilities to Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me To The End Of Love"
and Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go".
