Careless Love

Product Information

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.

While Peyroux was introduced as a jazz artist, her influences spanned far beyond one genre — and the compositions selected for Careless Love showcased this versatility. From inspired interpretations of songs by Elliot Smith (‘Between the Bars’), Leonard Cohen (‘Dance Me to the End of Love’), and Hank Williams (‘Weary Blues’), to more traditional fare made famous by Bessie Smith (‘Don’t Cry Baby’), Billie Holiday (‘No More,’‘I’ll Look Around’), and Josephine Baker (‘J’ ai Deux Amours’), Careless Love offered something for every music fan.

[17] Discography [ edit ] Solo [ edit ] Albums and details For the next year, Peyroux spent much of her time on the road in support of Careless Love, recording the majority of her shows from the soundboard. Among these dates is a standout set from Spain’s Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival, captured by Basque Public Radio on July 15, 2005. “You can hear how much fun we’re having, and the people sound really happy,” Peyroux reflects in the liner notes. “I think I was pretty nervous, playing in such a prestigious festival in one of these daunting, historic-looking places that was so large. At the time, a venue holding 2000 was a lot for me.”
