Peyroux,Madeleine Secular Hymns CD

2016 album from the jazz/blues vocalist. Peyroux set out to record a collection of songs with their own hymn-like stories of self-awareness and inner dialogue, a communal consciousness and a spiritual essence. Here, Madeleine intimately renders tunes by seminal blues artists like Willie Dixon & Lil Green, gospel singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe, dub star Linton Kwesi Johnson, three renowned American composers (Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Allen Toussaint), 19th century composer Stephen Foster and ending with a traditional African-American Spiritual.
