Free Music Review: A voice search story
Hit: 5 Stars
I decided to write here an unusual sort of review because of what happened to me related to this CD.
I usually go to local Barnes & Noble with a laptop to work while having a drink. Sometimes I wear earphones to enjoy the music I bring, sometimes I listen to the store's ambient music, which happens to be very nice most of the time.
One of those days I'm there working, and I realize they are playing a very nice warm voice, a female singer that I can't recognize, singing something Jazzy with the word "Lonesome" in the lyrics. I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics but just the warm and smooth sweet voice, really very pleasant, so smoothly flowing. The style and voice sounded somewhat similar to, or reminded me of Tierney Sutton, but this was a bit warmer and softer, and it wasn't Tierney for sure. Also somewhat resembling Billie Holiday, but not her either for sure. Neither she was Jacqui Naylor, who can also sound a bit like Holiday, but her voice I can recognize in a millisecond. Anyway, I went back to working on the laptop while listening to this magnificent voice in the background. Unfortunately I didn't worry about asking what CD they were playing or what the singer was... Very unfortunately.
Couple of days later I'm listening to music at night at home, and I suddenly feel this craving in my ear for that sweet voice singing that particular song. That happens to me frequently, and this one was a particularly powerful craving. But alas! This time I had no true idea who the singer was. In fact, I had very little hope on how to find who she was.
First I started a search for lyrics with the word "lonesome", couldn't find anything with lyrics that read like that song. I started to think that probably I had misheard the word. (Take into account, I'm not a native English speaker, and also I really didn't pay detailed attention to the lyrics when hearing her voice in the bookstore. To me I remembered something like "lonesome anymore" in the song, but wasn't sure). In any case, the lyrics search proved unsuccessful.
Went to Amazon and started searching for Jazz singers to sample voices I'm not familiar with, and zero results too. I realize I was buried into quite a problem of information retrieval: to try to find a voice you heard, but you don't know the singer's name, or the song's title, nor even the lyrics, no CD cover. Just (hopefully) one correct word in the lyrics, "lonesome", and that voice in your memory...
Went to the local B&N the next day and started a systematic search through the whole Jazz racks of CD's trying all female singer's CD's in the sampling stations where you can hear them with headphones, but didn't find the voice. Because of this search I ended up discovering Jane Monheit, which I also liked a lot, and got her latest CD. But still, the mysterious voice I was looking for was out of my grasp.
Believe it or not, this search lasted more than two months, and through all that time, I wasn't lucky enough to have that song on the radio, or again on the ambient music of B&N or any other bookstore, or anywhere that I could ask what was being played.
Just yesterday I was browsing Amazon.com and clicked on one of those recommendations they give you. I wasn't even thinking about my "voice search" at the moment, when I realize one of the songs in the CD was entitled "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go"... Suddenly my entire consciousness woke up and tunneled onto every letter on that sentence. It sounded an aweful lot exactly like what I think the song I remembered said. I clicked on the "Listen" link, and oh goodness gracious what a miracle... there she was!!!!!!!!!....
It was this very CD you are reading reviews about, "Careless Love", by Madeleine Peyroux, and again the song's title "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go". My highest recommendations to this gorgeous and pleasant voice and singing.
Careless Love Poster
Boasting an enthralling voice many have regarded as reminiscent of Billie Holiday's, Madeleine Peyroux burst onto the music scene eight years ago with the extremely successful release of Dreamland. Championed by major publications such as The New York Times and Time Magazine, Peyroux was immediately recognized as a remarkably talented singer with a promising future. With the release of her long awaited follow-up album Careless Love, Peyroux's potential as an artist is truly realized. Her smoky voice and knowing delivery make each song her own, whether she's singing vintage tunes by W.C. Handy and Hank Williams, or contemporary songs by Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith. Producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin) weaves strands of acoustic blues, country ballads, classic jazz, torch songs and pop into a vibrant fabric that is both timeless and thoroughly up to date, with Peyroux's arresting vocals always front and center.When Madeleine Peyroux's debut, Dreamland, was released in 1996, its success threw her for a loop. She's taken eight years to create this follow-up, and, at age 30, she brings a confidence and resilience to this dozen-song set. She's able to move seamlessly between songs by writers as diverse as Elliott Smith and W.C. Handy, whose title track was popularized by Bessie Smith. Though American-born, Peyroux absorbed the language and culture of France growing up in Paris with her French-teacher mother. On her debut, she covered Edith Piaf, and this time out she wraps herself around "J'ai Deux Amours," which Josephine Baker sang to the Allied troops during World War II. --David Greenberger
