	Bare Bones Audiophile - Used - MFSL 2-323 2010 Limited Numbered, Half-Speed Mastered 2LP 180gm HQ Vinyl Edition, In Deluxe Gatefold Jacket. Still In Original MoFi Outer Baggy. "Madeleine Peyroux's Fourth Album Isn't The Normal Mix Of Standards (Contemporary Or Traditional) With A Few Songs Of Her Own Composing; Each Of The 11 Tracks Is A New Song Written By Peyroux, Usually In Tandem With Producer Larry Klein Or A Guest. Still, She Appears In Her Usual Relaxed Setting, With A Small Group Perfectly Poised To Translate Her Languorous Vocals Into Perfect Accompaniment -- Organist Larry Goldings, Pianist Jim Beard, Drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, Plus Producer Klein On Bass, Dean Parks On Guitar, And Carla Kihlstedt On Violin. Fans Of Vocal Jazz May Be Disappointed To See That All The Songs Are New Ones -- Many A Great Conversation Could Consist Solely Of The Standards She Should Perform -- But They May Regret The Disappointment. Peyroux Is Not Only A Great Interpreter Of Songs, She Also Knows How To Write In What Might Be Called The Old-fashioned Way, The Type Of Song With A Universal, Direct, Emotional Power That Became A Rarity During The Late 20th Century. Also, The Help She Gets From Her Co-writers -- Walter Becker Of Steely Dan, Klein, And Friend Julian Coryell -- Is Priceless. Becker Delivers A Pair Of Special Gems, Including The Title Track And A Song Called "You Can't Do Me" That Delivers The Priceless Cutting Wit He Perfected With Steely Dan (A Sample: "You Know I Get So Blue And I Go/down Like A Deep Sea Diver, Out Like A Coltrane Tenor Man.../blewed Like A Mississippi Sharecropper, Screwed Like A High-school Cheerleader"). Granted, Peyroux Faces An Uphill Climb By Delivering New Songs In The Same Musical Context That Most Listeners Hear Standards; After All, Comparisons To The Half-century Of American Popular Song Aren't Fair, But They Certainly Come Easy. Still, Bare Bones Is A Remarkable Work From One Of The Best Artists In Vocal Jazz." Allmusic Review By John Bush. Small Bump To Bottom Left Corner & Tiny One To Top Left Corner.

	Careless Love Colored Vinyl - New - CR00285 Sealed 2021 3LP Deluxe Edition Reissue, Pressed On Translcuent Black & Gold Marbled Vinyl. Housed In A Deluxe Trifold Jacket With Custom Printed Card Inner Sleeves. "Madeleine Peyroux Took Eight Long Years To Follow Up Her Acclaimed 1996 Debut, Dreamland. While Her Website Claims Non-chalantly That She "Took A Breather," It Still Amounts To A Courageous Act. Careless Love Was Produced By Larry Klein Who Hired Some Heavy Hitters For These Sessions; They Include Larry Goldings, Scott Amendola, David Piltch, And Dean Parks. Even On First Listen, Careless Love Appears More Focused Than Its Predecessor. Klein's Sense Of Restraint Seeks Subtler Adventures In Presenting Peyroux's Voice And Remarkable Phrasing. The Material Is A Curious Collection Of Modern Pop Songs, Country Tunes, Old Nuggets, And The Original, "Don't Wait Too Long," Co-written With Klein And Jesse Harris. Peyroux's Opening Read Of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me To The End Of Love" Is Radical, It's Still Presented As A Cabaret Song, But Deliberately Lacks The Drama Of The Original; Instead, Her Tender Annunciation Draws Closer Attention To The Powerful Emotion In Its Lyric. Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" Portrays The Song's Object As Physically And Emotionally Present, To The Delighted Protagonist Who Knows Sadness Is Approaching. Parks' Guitar Playing Is Sparse But Physical; Amendola's Brushwork Complements Jay Bellerose's Spare Cymbal And Tom-tom Work, And Goldings' Grooving Organ And Piano. The Hinge Track Is Peyroux's Version Of Elliiot Smith's "Between The Bars" Introduced By Taut Sonic Ambience Whispering In The Backdrop, As Goldings' Celeste Underscores The Atmospherics With A Haunted Groove. Amendola's Brushes Whisper And Shimmer, Allowing The Singer To Explore The Lyric's Devastatingly Melancholic Depths. The Skeletal, Ghostly Treatment Given Hank Williams' "Weary Blues" Floats Free Of Its Country Trappings. The Band Surround Peyroux's Voice With Uptown Blues. Likewise, The Title Track, A Standard Composed By W.c. Handy, Weds The Sensual Swing Of Saturday R&b To Sunday Morning Gospel Sway. Driven By B-3 Organ And Rhodes Piano, Parks Adds Dirty, Spidery Guitar, Allowing Peyroux To Seemingly Swim Inside The Lyric, As It Slowly And Sensuously Drips From Her Mouth. In Choosing Klein For Careless Love -- One Of The Most Empathetic Producers Of Female Vocalists -- Peyroux Understood What Was At Stake In Returning After Such A Long Break. In The Interim She's Become A More Confident, Chancy, And Commanding Singer. She Gets Inside Lyrics Fully; She Embraces Her Accompaniment As An Aid In Their Expression Rather Than As Merely A Support Vehicle. Balance That With The Choice Of Material, And This Set Easily Avoids The "Sophomore Jinx," And Rises Head And Shoulders Above The Accomplishment Presented On Her Debut."

	Careless Love Audiophile - Used - MFSL 1-284 2006 Non Numbered 180gm HQ Half-Speed Master Housed In A Deluxe Gatefold Jacket. "Careless Love" is the second album by singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux, released in 2004. The album is a mix of jazz, blues, and folk, and features covers of classic songs such as "Dance Me to the End of Love" by Leonard Cohen and "Don't Wait Too Long" by Duke Ellington. Peyroux had a rough childhood, spending much of her early years busking on the streets of Paris and New York City. She was discovered by a talent scout in the 1990s and signed to Atlantic Records, releasing her debut album "Dreamland" in 1996. The album received critical acclaim but failed to make a significant impact commercially. After a period of personal turmoil, Peyroux returned to the music scene in 2004 with "Careless Love". The album was produced by Larry Klein, who had worked with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock, and featured a stellar group of musicians, including guitarists Dean Parks and Marc Ribot and drummer Jim Keltner. "Careless Love" was a critical and commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard jazz chart and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. The album's standout track, Peyroux's cover of "Dance Me to the End of Love", became a fan favorite and a staple of her live shows. Since the release of "Careless Love", Peyroux has continued to tour and record, releasing a string of acclaimed albums, including "Half the Perfect World" (2006), "Bare Bones" (2009), and "Anthem" (2018). She has been praised for her unique voice and her ability to infuse classic songs with new life and meaning. more
