Bob Dylan Jazz: Madeleine Peyroux

text: joshua holt

I caught the Oscar nominated live action short films the other day and left wanting to know more about Madeleine Peyroux. Her beautiful cover of Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome” features prominently in Manon on the Asphalt, a 15-minute French short film about the death of a young woman.

Peyroux’s album Careless Love features more great cover music and had us saying, “Hey, I love this song” a few times last night as we were baking New York Times chocolate cupcakes. If you like what you hear, I encourage you to check out the album.

    great cover! may be this one is better than Nina Simone’s jazz versions of Dylan ballads…

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)
