“In concert, her subtle and sauntering set is infused with classics from Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. Often compared to Billie Holiday, Peyroux’s smoke-and-whiskey vocals, have won rave reviews. Besides landing on album-of-the-year lists in Newsweek and the Wall St. Journal, her latest album is expanding her musical boundaries—and her audience. Catch this rising star while you can.”

That was written about Madeleine Peyroux in 2007 – so I’m way behind the times. I first heard her in a friends house last week and a few days later someone picked this track on a radio show as one of their favourite songs. No, it wasn’t Desert Island Discs – on hearing the lyrics – that would be a bit strange, There’s no video to accompany this but why don’t you turn up the volume, tidy up your desk and enjoy the song.
