Keep Me In Your Heart For A While: The Best of Madeleine Peyroux will be the very first compilation release in the singer/songwriter's 18-year career, including favorites not only from her Rounder catalog, but also tracks from her Atlantic and Decca/ Emarcy catalogs. Additionally, the album will include one previously unreleased song--title track and Warren Zevon cover, 'Keep Me In Your Heart' which appeared in 2011's independent film Union Square. Liner notes by former Atlantic Records A&R man, Yves Beauvais, complete the package.

Peyroux, whose voice is often compared to that of Billie Holiday's, was discovered while in her early twenties, when Beauvais spotted her at a New York club. He recalls the precocious singer's set to be 'some of the most exciting, viscerally moving minutes of my music-listening life.' Beauvais signed Peyroux to Atlantic and co-produced her 1996 debut Dreamland. Peyroux's husky voice enchanted audiences and critics alike, but it was 2004's Careless Love a wide-ranging collection of covers from Elliott Smith to Leonard Cohen-penned tracks that proved to be a milestone release for the artist, fetching mainstream recognition and marking the start of a four-album-long collaboration with producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Herbie Hancock).

The American-born Peyroux, whose career began as a teen busker on the streets of Paris, is a regularly-touring, active artist, who has often returned to her love of busking between albums.

I hope there's nothing rare here; I'm catalog with her. Agree 100% with the Billie Holiday comparison. I've said it befor; If BH had been clean & sober, perforning in the last 20 years & from a slightly different place culturally, she'd be Madeline.

geff, i'm NOT catalog with her, so i went for the 2cd, NON-domestic, UK version.
(from http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00N1C7336/?tag=imwan-21 in this case.)
thought people may want to at least know about this option.

You won't regret it, if Billie Holiday was a contemporary artist, she'd be Madeline!
