Peyroux doesn't have a big or showy voice, but her phrasing and tone are so personal that she turns familiar songs inside out, forcing you to consider that the goal of Saturday night might not be an adrenaline buzz but rather a post-coital calm. When she sings Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'," she drifts away from her rhythm section's swing as if zoning out from the chatter around her. She doesn't abandon tempo; she simply substitutes her own pulse for the one expected. When she and k.d. lang duet on Joni Mitchell's "River," Peyroux's voice seems to skate away down a frozen Canadian waterway, just as the lyrics prescribe.
