- With her new CD, Madeleine Peyroux abandons the security of covering numbers associated with others.
- By Charles J. Gans from The Philadelphia Inquirer
- When is a jazz singer not a jazz singer? No, we're not headed for tiresome quibbling over what makes "real jazz" -- I'm just thinking of how easily Madeleine Peyroux's Billie Holiday-inspired phrasing and cool swing grooves can beguile me into thinking of her as simply an unusually laid-back interpreter of standards, rather than as the sophisticated singer-songwriter she is gradually proving herself to be.
- By Russell Johnston from Nashville Scene
- But on this, her fifth full-length in 13 years of recording, Peyroux crosses over into full-fledged-songwriter terrain, penning or co-authoring all 11 tracks.
- By Corey duBrowa from Paste Magazine
- Stylistically, "Bare Bones" is more of the same from Madeleine Peyroux. But who complains about more of the same when it's another dish of hot fudge sundae or another night in Paris? What's different on this, Peyroux's fourth album, is that all of the songs are originals. As its title suggests, this is a laid-back, stripped-down affair. The lyrics, too, suggest that we slow down, decide to be happy, and enjoy life.
- Steve Greenlee from The Boston Globe
- Bare Bones sums up her philosophy on life especially the title song, inspired by a book she read, When Things Fall Apart: Heartfelt Advice for Difficult Times, written by Buddhist nun Pema Chodron.
- Sally Browne from The Courier-Mail
- La bautizaron Madeleine por la magdalena, pero no por una magdalena cualquiera, sino por la magdalena más famosa de la literatura, la de Marcel Proust. Y mucho sabor francés alberga esta guitarrista, cantante y compositora de jazz norteamericana llamada Madeleine Peyroux, que hoy mismo publica su nuevo álbum, "Bare bones" ("La esencia").
- Manuel De La Fuente from ABC.ES
- You could say that Peyroux's third album for Rounder in five years is just more of the same — same Billie Holiday timbre and phrasing, and producer Larry Klein again brings that chamber-ensemble intimacy and precise deployment of vintage instruments (fiddle, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer piano, Estey keyboard). None of which is a bad thing.
- Jon Garelick from The Boston Phoenix
- Auch auf "Bare Bones" hat sie diese spannende Ausstrahlung zwischen Rucksack-Reisender, kompromissloser Wahrheitssucherin und formidabler Interpretin. Zur Seite standen ihr dabei Walter Becker von Steely Dan, die Westcoast-Folk-Legende David Batteau, ebenso Joe Henry (er produzierte das Album "River In Reverse" von Elvis Costello und Allen Toussaint) und Larry Klein, der die wichtigsten Alben von Joni Mitchell produziert hat oder das letzte von Tracy Chapman. Studio-Magie entstand dank Schlagzeuger Vinnie Colaiuta, Organist Larry Goldings oder Gitarrist Dean Parks.
- from Kwick!
- But really it was the U.S.-born (then, for a while, Parisian-based) Madeleine Peyroux who got the ball rolling with her languid, velvet-fog delivery and tunes. So if there's justice, Peyroux will finally bust out with her new set "Bare Bones" (Rounder, B), produced in decorative, gently building fashion by Larry Klein.
- Jonathan Takiff from Philadelphia Daily News
- Een 'typical Southern-American joke' van haar overleden vader bracht Peyroux aan de pen met als resultaat een album over volwassen zijn, filosofische levensvragen en persoonlijke bespiegelingen; Bare Bones.
- from De Telegraaf
- Nacida hace 35 años en la misma ciudad que The B-52's y R.E.M., Athens (estado yanqui de Georgia, aunque hoy reside en Nueva York), Madeleine Peyroux fue bendecida con la ahumada voz más escalofriantemente cercana a la de Billie Holiday que se conozca. Artista precoz (a los 16 hizo una larga gira por Europa cantando con una banda de swing de segunda división) con una biografía, digamos, bohemia, presentaba esta mañana en Madrid su cuarto álbum, 'Bare Bones', que sale a la venta precisamente hoy. Ha sido en la céntrica cafetería-librería La buena vida, donde ha concedido una rueda de prensa para unos pocos periodistas y que después ha interpretado la canción 'Somethin' Grand', la que cierra este nuevo disco.
- Pablo Gil from El Mundo
- Ok, the snazzy jazzy singer, Madeleine Peyroux, comes out with her new album, Bare Bones this week. Peyroux, who has covered artists like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, had a hand in writing each of the 11 original songs on the album. Not surprisingly, this gives the work a more personal, intimate feel, which is complimented by Peyroux's lovely, lush, seductive voice, which has often garnered her comparisons to Bille Holiday.
- Liz from Limelife
- A Madeleine Peyroux (Georgia, 1973) no le hace mucha gracia hablar de ella misma, pero para escribir las once canciones de "Bare Bones", el disco con el que rompe un largo silencio, ha tenido que transitar, desde la cautela, por sus sentimientos más íntimos. "No ha sido siempre agradable descubrir cosas", confiesa.
- from Informacion
- Madeleine Peyroux has made her strongest impressions to date with subtly eclectic transformations of jazz standards, earning frequent and obvious comparisons to Billie Holiday due to the cool, slightly warbly quality of her singing. On her fifth CD, "Bare Bones," the Georgia native puts her stamp on all-new material, and weaves an alluring tapestry of sonic elegance, vocal character and lyrical bite.
- Thomas Kintner from The Hartford Courant
- Kaum zu glauben, daß seit der Veröffentlichung von "Half The Perfect World" schon fast drei Jahre verstrichen sind. Manche der Songs dieses Albums hat man noch heute sehr frisch im Ohr. Nicht anders wird einem allerdings mit den Liedern von Madeleine Peyroux' neuem Album "Bare Bones" gehen. Erstmals schrieb die Sängerin und Gitarristin sämtliche Songs selber. Zur Seite standen ihr dabei freilich Könner wie Produzent/Bassist Larry Klein, Walter Becker (Steely Dan), Julian Coryell (der Sohn des Jazzgitarristen Larry Coryell), Joe Henry, David Batteau und der australische Pianist Sean Wayland. Und so ist "Bare Bones" sicherlich Madeleines bislang persönlichstes, zugleich aber auch ihr stilistisch abwechslungsreichstes Album geworden.
- from Jazz Echo
- It's hard to imagine a candelit cocktail bar that wouldn't benefit from playing Madeleine Peyroux's fourth album, "Bare Bones." The ear loves to catch on the inflections of her supple alto, the clear picking on her acoustic guitar, the pacing as slow as a hand-stitched dress.
- Margaret Wappler from Los Angeles Times
Introspective, pensive, and contemplative are a few of the adjectives that come to mind when describing Bare Bones, Madeleine Peyroux’s third album for Rounder. But don’t be fooled by the title, the music is not “stripped to the bone”, quite the contrary. The music is lush, like falling into a down comforter, enveloping the senses with warmth.
Bare Bones marks Madeleine’s first album of all original material, revealing a songwriter who is fully coming into her own. Well crafted, thoughtful and deeply satisfying songs from the heart dealing with loss, the big questions in life and ultimately the possibility that hope does spring eternal.
Peyroux says the album builds from wariness, to loss, to acceptance, and finally to hope. “I’m really happy that I got to write,” says Peyroux, “It feels like a new segment, and it’s great work. I’m surrounded by beautiful sounds, really honest musicians, really honest playing.”‘Bare Bones’ was recorded in Los Angeles at Henson Studios last fall.
