New Norah Jones CD February 10th! YAY!


http://www.norahjones.com/news/default.htm

STUDIO NOTES: Feels Like Home features the singer-songwriter-pianist once again teaming with Mardin, engineer Jay Newland and her close-knit touring band. Jones has penned several songs—by herself and with songwriting partner Lee Alexander—gathered other songs from her band mates and friends, and delivers three covers: Townes Van Zandt’s “Be Here To Love Me,” Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan’s “The Long Way Home” and Duke Ellington’s “Melancholia,” which she wrote lyrics to and retitled “Don’t Miss You At All.”

Feels Like Home was recorded in two sessions. Last April Jones and her band convened in an upstate New York studio and worked on new songs, including some they had been performing in concert. After an extensive U.S. summer tour, everyone reassembled in New York City to revisit the tracks already recorded, work on different arrangements that had been road-tested and add new numbers to the mix.

On the disc, Jones plays piano, Wurlitzer electric piano and pump organ and features her core group, comprising guitarists Adam Levy and Kevin Breit, background vocalist Daru Oda, bassist Lee Alexander and drummer Andrew Borger. She also brings aboard a select short-list of guests, including Dolly Parton, drummer Levon Helm and organist/accordionist Garth Hudson of The Band, long-time friends guitarists Jesse Harris and Tony Scherr, drummer Brian Blade and keyboardist Rob Burger.

2. I heard her first album and I like it but
I still can't believe she won the best album grammy with releasing just one single

3. Hence, Best ALBUM
As in a collection of songs, not a couple of singles and a bunch of throwaways.

6. I hear that and I respect yours and the academy's decisions but
in my opinion Eminem's album was the best of last year. This year I would have to say Outkast

4. I can't wait!
>"New Norah Jones CD February 10th! YAY!"<

I now know what DH will be getting for Valentine's Day.

We have bought at least four copies of "Come Away With Me" besides the two that we own. It seems that people hear it at our house, rave about it, and we end up sending them home with our copy...

I realize that there are those who don't think that Norah Jones is all that and a bag of chips. I think she's astoundingly talented. We truly enjoy her music.
