Half the Perfect Worldby Madeleine Peyroux
(music cd)
Madeleine Peyroux is close to hip perfection. Born in the US but raised in Paris, she combines the best of both worlds in her singing style. Even though the songs are mostly contemporary, they sound as through they are being sung in Paris cafe about 40 years ago.
Her rendition of Tom Waits' "Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night" is sultry heaven. "Everybody's Talking" is better than the Harry Nilsson original. This album would be appropriate with wine & cheese on a warm summer night.
