Music is like compost, but instead of carrot peelings, you throw in your whole life; every experience gets mixed into the pot and stirred with instrumental skills picked up along the way.

So reading a musician's bio is a little like reading the ingredients on food labels, and aren't we all looking for organic, pesticide-free, juicy songs that suit our particular appetite?

Michelle Dumond is a free-spirited gypsy musician with the soul of a jazz singer and the sexual playfulness of a burlesque performer. Bob Dylan would love her. Rufus Wainwright would drag her onstage with him. Leonard Cohen and Shakira would team up to adopt her. She has the musical skills to establish credibility with a more artsy crowd and the earthiness and humor to make her more accessible to people like me who just love music.

She can convey all kinds of moods with that husky, alluring, commanding voice. She can sing the fun âBathtub Ragâ about soaking in the tub and suddenly fog up the bathroom mirror by crooning invitingly, âSo take off your clothes and wet your toes.â She can handle a serious issue with a whimsical approach (the opener âHumanityâ).

She can also dim the lights, as she does in the middle of this CD, and turn into a classically-inspired dark gothic composer. âSandraâ and âAu Revoirâ are orchestral tapestries of cello, piano, violin, and sweeping melodic drama. I could almost touch the sound â itâs burgundy velvet. After it flowed over me and left me very still, Dumond wisely ended on an up note with âSick on Christmas,â a wry yet jingling tune. She can do anything. She can sing anything, play anything, and seduce anyone. Go ahead and give in.
