On 'The Blue Room', her second Decca recording,
Madeleine Peyroux and producer Larry Klein
re-examine the influence of Ray Charles'
revolutionary 1962 date, 'Modern Sounds In Country
And Western Music'. They don't try to re-create
the album, but remake some of its songs and
include others by composers whose work would
benefit from the genre-blurring treatment Charles
pioneered. Bassist David Pilch, drummer Jay
Bellerose, guitarist Dean Parks, and
pianist/organist Larry Goldings are the perfect
collaborators. Most these ten tracks feature
string arrangements by Vince Mendoza. Five tunes
here are reinterpretations of Charles' from
MSICAWM. 'Take These Chains' commences as a sultry
jazz tune, and in Peyroux's vocal, there is no
supplication -- only a demand. Parks' pedal steel
moves between sounding like itself and a clarinet.
Goldings' alternating B-3 and Rhodes piano offer
wonderful color contrast and make it swing. Her
take on 'Bye Bye Love' feels as if it's being
narrated to a confidante, and juxtaposes early
Western swing with a bluesy stroll. A rock guitar
introduces 'I Can't Stop Loving You,' but
Peyroux's phrasing has more country-blues in it
than we've heard from her before. The use of a
trumpet in 'Born To Lose' and 'You Don't Know Me,'
with Mendoza's dreamy strings, allow for Peyroux
to deliver her most stylized jazz performances on
the set. Buddy Holly's 'Changing All the Changes'
contains the same happy bump as the original, but
there isn't any ache in Peyroux's vocal; it's all
declaration. The simmering, busted blues in Randy
Newman's 'Guilty' reveals he could have written
the tune for Little Willie John or Patsy Cline.
Both singer and producer prove that John
Hartford's 'Gentle On My Mind' can be as much a
jazz-pop tune as a country song. The shuffling
train motion in Glen Campbell's iconic version has
been traded for a less hurried pace. Peyroux
employs her Billie Holiday-influenced phrasing to
excellent effect. Mendoza's restrained strings
color the tune from a simple, directly conveyed
love song to an intimate reverie offered over time
and distance; Goldings' shimmering piano and
Parks' ringing guitar make it nearly elastic.
Warren Zevon's 'Desperadoes Under the Eaves'
illustrates better than any selection here that
Charles' approach to country to transcend genre
and tell universal stories was indeed genius.
Peyroux, her band, and Mendoza's strings offer a
nearly cinematic legend of old Hollywood
envisioned through the eyes of one of its most
seasoned and heartbroken denizens. The singer
leans out of the arrangements and into the depths
of her heart, conveying loss and loneliness to the
listener directly. 'The Blue Room' is a brave
experiment, but one that pays off handsomely. For
anyone who hasn't spent time with Charles' classic
country recordings, it doesn't matter, because
what's here stands confidently on its own; for
those who have, that experience will provide an
additional reward.
