Kindred spirits: Norah Jones, Lizz Wright, Cassandra Wilson, Kate
Like her role models Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee and Emmylou Harris, Madeleine Peyroux allows vowels to drop from her mouth like ripened pieces of fruit: soft, round and bruised. On her first four solo albums, she mostly applied this sensual singing to material first recorded by the likes of Patsy Cline and Nat King Cole. It took her a while to figure out how to write music as seductive as her voice. She did, though, and her 11 originals sparkle on her fifth album, Bare Bones. [Read more]

Reg's recommendations for City Stages '09
4) Erin McCarley - If you judged this book by it's cover, this one would be a best seller. But it doesn't stop there. Unlike most pretty faces in the music business, there is depth and substance to this artist. She is an adept songwriter, her song Pitter-Pat will bring you to your knees, and has a voice that soothes like a chilled shot of Jack.(Saturday, 5 p.m. - Legacy Credit Union Stage) [Read more]

Nothing is so similar to life as music.”In an e-mail discussion with a local folk fan who took offence to my comments about the ever-present “cancerous Celtic& [Read more]
