I just heard Madeleine Peyroux for the first time last night, and purchased a cd by her. The music is so haunting. Remeniscent of Billy Holiday, but I think I like Peyroux even better. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to jazzz. I don't care much for the abstract melodies or the acid stuff.
I feel like I'm kind of in the flip side of where Mara's at right now. She seems to be looking for people are are busy lovign right now and optimsitic, and I am looking for tunes that whine for a broken heart.
