Studio album release by American jazz vocalist Madeleine Peyroux consisting of a mix of classic oldies and more modern classics, and contemporary songs from a pop / rock and singer / songwriter territory, meaning a collection of cover songs (she has written one of the songs). She really has a great singing voice, and it's no wonder she has been compared to Billie Holiday. She has that "fine and mellow" morna melancholy that just suits the songs so well. I believe this album was her international breakthrough.
