Do You Have These??

I am always searching for more Madi songs. Recently I found two songs she did as a guest on compilation CDs that I did not have in my collection. I bought both CDs fairly cheaply through Amazon marketplace. The albums (and the Madi song on each) are:

1) Madi sings "Life Is Fine" on the 1997 tribute CD for Rainer Ptacek "The Inner Flame"

2) Madi sings "Give Your Moma One Smile" on the Starbucks CD "Sweetheart" released in 2005. I think there was one released in 2004 as well but it was different.

And for those who don't have Madi busking with the Lost and Wandering Jazz and Blues Band, those three CDs are available at the Band's website (www.lostwandering.com/). She appears on the CDS "Hustlin' Dan", "Spreading Rhythm Around", and "The Best Of". They also sell a DVD on which Madi appears, but I haven't seen that one.

Cheers

The Rainer Ptacek tribute CD is pretty good. Read the reviews on Amazon. I "HAD" to have it to get the Madeleine song. It's different than most of her stuff, and I'm glad I bought it. You can get the CD for about $4 plus S&H at Amazon Marketplace.

I liked the sample of "Sister Kate" that I found but it's not worth the cost of the 4-CD set to get it. I'm not interested in songs that appear on her mainstream albums, just different stuff.

Thanks for listing these though.

Do you have the Lost & Wandering Jazz and Blues Band CDs? I bought them from the Band's web site and it took awhile to get them because the travel A LOT. But they were worth it (to me at least).

The songs she sings on the L&W CDs (some repeated on the different CDs, at least one is a duet) are:
Arkansas
Far Away Blues
Eavesdropper's Blues
Hustlin' Dan
Lounging At The Waldorf
Muddy Water
Say It With A Kiss
Spreading Rhythm Around (I love this one!)
Them Has Been Blues

OH. And quite some time ago I recorded Madi singing "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans" from a streaming version on the NPR web site. It had something to do with Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz and was part of a tribute to NO Hurricane relief, I think performed at Tanglewood in western Mass. I don't know if the streaming version is still available on NPR.

Cheers

Madeleine also contibutes to a track on an album by Mike Reed and the Spring Valley Studs.  The album was released in 2003 and is called Courtney's Farm.  The track is "A Fool and the Other".  The album is worth getting but is difficult to find (but is available from the excellent cdbaby.com).

Different live versions of "Don't wait too long" are available on 4 radio station cds (see official website) - all are available but some more difficult to obtain than others.

Madeleine will appear as as guest artist on 2 soon to be released cds.  One is Oceana by Till Bronner.  The track is "I'm so lonesome I could cry".  The other is by Toots Thielemans and is called One More for the Road.  The track is "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea".

Can anyone help with some information.  There is supposed to be a version of "The way you look tonight" by Madeleine on the Mad About you soundtrack (listed on allmusic.com as one of 7 tracks).  But all copies I have seen on various websites have 21 tracks and no Madeleine.  Are there 2 versions?

According to Amazon, the CD version of the Mad About You soundtrack
has 21 tracks (and no Madeleine), but the audio tape version of the
soundtrack has eight songs:

1. Final Frontier - Anita Baker
2. She Crawls Away - Hootie & the Blowfish
3. Things We've Handed Down - Marc Cohn
4. Way You Look Tonight - Madeleine Peyroux
5. Ice Cream - Sarah McLachlan
6. Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) - John Lennon
7. At Last - Etta James
8. Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)

It is me again - The Toots Theilemans Album "One more for the road" was released today - which has the collaboration with Madeleine - "In between the devil and the deep blue sea". What is even better is that it is available in ITunes (US site) so go ahead and buy it!

It is a marvellous big band version of the song and Madeleine's voice is as gorgeous as ever. Quite diffferent to the Till Bronner track "I'm so lonesome I could cry" which is slow time and sublime.   

It is really wonderful to have all of these new recordings - showcasing Madeleine's versatility with styles. I am really looking forward now to what will be on her new album.

Continue enjoying - Seb
