Product Description:
". . . in a place where Billie Holiday meets Tom Waits . . . has moments that recall pieces of Nina Simone, early Rickie Lee Jones, and even the sophistication of Cole Porter. " - Business Week Although there are elements of jazz, blues and folk in her music, it is simultaneously all of those things and none of them. Her engaging songs and sultry controlled vocals possess a timeless quality that places them in the tradition of the great female vocalists on Verve, whose work have also not been confined to any one genre or style

Worrisome Heart Review
|
|
|
Disabled in a traffic accident when she was 19, the story of how music helped her to deal with cognitive and physical impairment is really inspiring.
But aside from that, her voice, that can be tender and yet gravelly when it cracks, seems to be made for this genre. The track "All That You Need Is Love" is on mega spin on my iPOD!

Norah Jones meets Madeleine Peyroux meets Eva Cassidy -

Worrisome Heart Review
|
|
|
I am really enjoying this new album & artist. Very mellow and smoky like Norah Jones -- but I definitely get moments of Madeleine Peyroux and the occasional Eva Cassidy, as well. (All top-notch singers in my book!) I look forward to seeing more from this artist in the future!

Worrisome Heart Review

Purely by accident I discovered Melody's album and I am so glad I did!!!
I certainly hope she has a great career in music ahead of her!!!
This album has such a cool sound and once I start listening I just keep playing it over and over. Considering what she went through in her life(ie the Bike crash) it is amazing that she has recovered to produce this album!!!
Cheers!!!

"Music Can Do Wonders For Your Spirit" - 
|
Worrisome Heart Review
|
|
|
Melody Gardot "needs a hand with her worrisome heart." And according to her, "she gravitates towards soothing music, often genres that are soft and somewhat unassuming." She further states that "music can do wonders for your spirit especially when it's the kind that calms you down."
About five years ago, Melody Gardot was slammed into by the front end of a jeep that left her bedridden and disabled. As a result, she had turned her recuperating time into something creative and productive by writing the lyrics and music on all ten tracks on this remarkable album, "Worrisome Heart," which starts off with the title track and ends with "Twilight." This album is a showcase of Ms. Gardot's versatility where she shows off not only her remarkable vocal style, but also her talents in guitar and piano, and composing and songwriting as well.
She is ably supported by a crew of fine musicians who are all skilled in their respective instruments namely Ken Pendergast (bass), Dave Posmontier (piano), Charlie Patierno (drums), Matt Cappy (trumpet), Joel Bryant (Hammond B3/Rhodes/Wurlitzer), Jef Lee Johnson, Barney McKenna (guitar), Ron Kerber (clarinet), Diane Monroe (violin), Mike Brenner (Lap Steel guitar), Krista Nielsen (cello), Kurt Johnson and David Mowry (Dobro guitar).
In conclusion, I admire Ms. Gardot's impressive vocal artistry and for the simple fact that she turned her pain and discomfort into something creative and productive -- and as a result, an impressive debut album with a remarkable set of all-original-songs, which represent her innermost feelings and heartfelt thoughts set into beautiful music and meaningful lyrics.
"Special thanks...most importantly to God and the universe for bringing so many wonderful people into my life, to all the people who have touched me with their support and generosity and to everyone who took the time to look my way and lend a hand when I least expected it." ~ Melody Gardot ~

I purchased this album on recommendation from I-Tunes and it has become one of the all-time favorites in my massive record and CD collection. Great voice and great styling make this a great listening experience. I am eagerly awaiting a followup album. -- Herb Dower
