This 2CD compilation of the singer-songwriter's 18-year career features material stretching all the way back to her 1996 Atlantic debut, Dreamland (‘Walkin’ After Midnight’, ‘La Vie En Rose’, ‘Getting Some Fun Out Of Life’). Not surprisingly, the album with which Peyroux hit the motherload, 2004's Careless Love, features strongly, with half of its 12 songs included. And with its churchy organ and bell-like piano chords, the complete reinvention of ‘You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome’ still sounds like one of the freshest Dylan covers you're likely to hear. Memorable Peyroux originals include ‘I'm All Right’ (co-written with Larry Klein and Walter Becker) and ‘Once In A While’ (co-written with Klein and Jesse Harris), both from her 2006 album Half the Perfect World, plus the poignant ‘River Of Tears’ (another Klein co-write) from 2009's Bare Bones. The gently chugging guitar-bass stylings of Buddy Holly's ‘Changing All Those Changes’ and a moving take on Warren Zevon's ‘Desperadoes Under The Eaves’ – both taken from last year's The Blue Room – perfectly encapsulate the Peyroux aesthetic of elegiac insight meets beguiling simplicity. Featured in the 2011 film Union Square, Zevon's ‘Keep Me In Your Heart’ provides the one previously unreleased song, while the collection ends as it began with a track from Careless Love, the dreamy, otherworldly ‘This Is Heaven To Me’.
