Subtitled: Martha Wainwright's Piaf Record. 2009 album from the talented singer/songwriter (and sister of Rufus), a tribute to the great French vocalist Edith Piaf. Recorded live over the course three nights in New York, Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, a Paris features 15 Piaf songs chosen from more than 300 that Wainwright researched via friend Hal Wilner. Wainwright called upon some of the best "downtown" NY musicians and worked to keep the quirky twists of Piaf's original productions while adding some bold new strokes. The result is a daring, powerful and personal work that - while not for every palate - challenges and then rewards.
