Product review: It's kind of spooky the way this woman channels Billie Holiday. The jury is divided: some argue that if you want to hear Billie Holiday, just put on some Billie Holiday. But we hold to the belief that good music is good music, and you can never have enough. Born in Georgia, raised in New York and Paris, Peyroux is this year's Norah Jones (she even penned a song with Norah collaborator Jesse "Don't Know Why" Harris). But this CD has a little more whiskey in it than Norah's records. It has the sweet, sweet stink of juke joints and barbecue and old `78s (without the scratches). Songs range from Holiday standards like "No More" and "I'll Look Around" to Josephine Baker's "Jai Deux Amours." But Peyroux truly shines on contemporary covers of Leonard Cohen, Elliot Smith and especially Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go."
