Melody Gardot, Live in Europe


Because I bought and enjoyed Diana Krall, Live in Paris, thanks to those who shared about it, I took a chance and bought Melody Gardot, Live in Europe. It is a 2-cd set.  Similar music.  Many songs sound just as good on my system as  DK’s cd.  Ms. Gardot has a lovelier voice, in my opinion.  So far, I am through the fist cd.  Very original in places. Slow and sultry in most. But, “The Rain” will give your speakers an 11 minute sonic workout. I highly recommend it.

Oh goody. More new voices to check out. Thanks, folkfreak!  A system isn’t much without great music.  I will also check out Madeleine Peyroux and Patricia Barber.  I love sultry female vocalists.

While I am at it, I would recommend an all-Spanish CD called La Llorona by Lhasa. An incredible voice.  European Spanish and that of some South American countries is so liquid and sexy. It can make French sound vulgar in comparison.
If you like Melody's Live in Europe, be sure to also get her Live at the Olympia Paris on Blu-ray. Outstanding!
