Madeleine Peyroux has a new album


it's called Standing on the Rooftop and it came out this past Tuesday and the reviews are what you might call mixed (I haven't heard it so don't ask me).

but Will Friedwald writes somewhat positively on behalf of the Wall Street Journal, though he goes back to the whole in the wake of Norah Jones and doesn't she sound like Billie Holiday thing even though he professes to be "reluctant" about doing so.

and while I certainly understand the instinct, it is kind of an old angle if this piece I wrote nearly seven years ago for her "comeback" release of Careless Love (one of the very first features I wrote for the future at the time and past in the present Village Voice music editor Rob Harvilla) is any indication.

now back to interviewing (two scheduled for this afternoon), because that's what I do now.
