Madeleine Peyroux

She’s been around for awhile; but it seems not many of my friends have heard Madeline Peyroux. Her 2004 disc (which is my favorite) entitled Careless Love is what got me hooked on her. Her newer disc, entitled Half the Perfect World, is also a really solid option.

She’s not the type of music you listen to everyday; but every time I listen to her I wonder why I don’t.

Check out the track Blue Alert off Half the Perfect World:

I just got around to listening to this clip; and, it is one of my favorite things you've reviewed so far (well, maybe next to Mew)...

Hey Todd,

Awesome! I really, really love her. Do you know of anyone similar?

Todd

Sadly, no. I'm still pretty much a jazz novice (since the mood doesn't strike me THAT frequently) and I just keep enjoying my Miles Davis CD's over and over.
