Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again???


Anyone think Norah Jones is capable of dulpicating the success of her first album with her new album "Feels like home"? I heard that she has a song with Willie Nelson and another with Dolly Parton. I hope Norah doesn't go all country on us this time around. Oh well, we'll see.

I loved her first album. Not a great voice, but interesting and non fatiquing. Good material, as well on that album. We'll see. Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson duets? I don't know about that......warren
I wish her well, however, I'm one of those people that dislikes her voice. The quality of the recording was super, it sounded great on my system, but I just couldn't take her voice. Rollercoasters and Nora are similar to me... I want to like them, but I just can't get into them. I agree with Ben above in that it will be a success just off of the momentum of her first CD.
I am surprised that no one ever mentiones the other "Norah
Jones album". Last year an album was released that is called- The Peter Malick Group featuring Norah Jones- New
York City.

The music was recorded in 2000, with some additional work
done in 2003. Norah sang the leads in all but one cut,where
she shared the lead with Malick.

The tunes are more contemperary than on her solo album, my
favorite is Bob Dylans Heart of Mine, from his Slow Train
Comeing lp. It works pretty well with Jones' voice.

The voice work is fairly well done, but the band is pushed
too far back and sounds a bit muted, it sounds better on the car stereo by the way.

As far as her voice goes, I absolutely love it. I have to
say tho, that I am horrified to hear that Dolly is singing
on the new lp, there are few things worse than that high
pitched, nose pinched, hillbilly warble that that woman puts out. I dont dislike her, dont get me wrong, just dont
ask her to sing, please.

Anyhow, if you like Norah, you need to pick up this lp (cd). Even though the recording is not what you would hope
for, the music and the voice are worth the price (got mine
on sale).
Was thinking about picking up the Norah live DVD, I saw her on PBS not long ago a liked that a lot. I have Alison Krauss and Diana Krall live dvd's and both kind of gave me a little different thoughts on the performers than I had formed in my mind from their cd's.

I like Norah's voice a lot, I think she will go far if she wants to.

I'm not so sure she 'did it' last time. I have her CD and I like it, but it's not great. I doubt that it will go down in history as one of the best recordings. I did like to she her grow a little, maybe branch out a little. I would like to hear her Dylan cover, that was a good song.

Good Luck Norah!
