Elliott Smith News
I've been on an Elliott Smith kick since Eliza put "Waltz #2" on repeat earlier this week.
Today Anti-Records revealed that the beloved folkie's final album From a Basement on the Hill will be released October 19, nearly a year to the day after his suicide. More info can be found at MTV News and NY Times.
Madeleine Peyroux is an up-and-coming musician who sounds like Billie Holiday. A few years ago she was a street musician in Paris. Peyroux's sophomore disc Careless Love comes out this September on Rounder Records and includes covers of Dylan, Leonard Cohen ... and Elliott Smith. Enjoy:

Madeleine Peyroux can't be only 22; she's been playing at the club I book for more than 8 years... I think the bio you have is a bit outdated. So she might not get child-prodigy points, but she's still pretty damn good.

Whoa, I was just listening to Gloomy Sunday (Billie Holiday)yesterday and Madeleine Peyroux does sound uncannily like her in her lower registers- this is the first time i have heard her. Cool song, like Holiday doing a down tempo alternative track.
