'The Less You Know, The Better' is somewhat of a return to the style of his classic debut album 'Endtroducing...' in that the songs on the record are largely made from obscure samples. 'Sad And Lonely' is the fifth song on the new album and it features the vocals of Susan Reed. (Thanks Roeland - Cheers!)
Susan Reed was a singer, harpist and zitherist who was popular in the New York folk scene in the 1940's - in 1945 Life magazine dubbed her 'the pet of Manhattan nightclubbers'. In the process of trying to find the singer to clear the sample, Shadow discovered that she had died just a week before - on April 25th 2010. In the end they located her husband and son who gave their approval after hearing the song.
This is 'Sad And Lonely' from DJ Shadow featuring the vocals of Susan Reed... Enjoy!
