Madeleine PeyrouxDreamland (Music on Vinyl)
$39.00Call to Order
A debut that sounds dug out of a 1930s Paris cellar, Peyroux's voice eerily channeling Billie Holiday. 'Walkin' After Midnight' drifts in lonesome and slow, 'La Vie en Rose' arrives husky and unhurried, and the title 'Dreamland' floats on dusty street-corner jazz. Recorded young, with a busker's intimacy still clinging to every phrase. The arrival of one of vocal jazz's most haunting voices, before the world caught on.
