- 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".

3. Madeleine Peyroux, Careless Love: The sweet vocals of Peyroux graced the Vilar Center a few weeks ago and if you missed her live, it’s worth checking out her newest album. It’s taken Peyroux eight years to follow-up her debut album, Dreamland, and it was well worth the wait. Many people have compared her sound to Billie Holiday and we tend to agree. Either way, she moves seamlessly between tunes by W.C. Handy and Hank Williams to more contemporary songs by Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith.
