The Absolute Sound Super Disc List         TAS Harry Pearson Super LP List

Madeleine Peyroux's sophomore release, Careless Love, comes eight years after her debut which she recorded at the tender age of 22.

Having been born in Georgia, then moving to France early on, it's no wonder her range of musical taste and talent would be diverse. With her sultry alto voice, she has recorded music here from such artists as Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen and W.C. Handy.

Don't Wait Too Long is an original by Peyroux and was co-written with Jesse Harris and Norah Jones.

 Madeleine Peyroux is the best kind of one-trick pony: she sounds uncannily like Billie Holiday, a marvelous feat if you can pull it off. On Careless Love—the long-awaited follow-up to her 1996 debut, Dreamland—she brings her wide-reaching sensibilities and dazzling Lady Day voice to a dozen old and new songs.
