@czarivey I agree with you completely. I have bought a few of her LP's and I just don't get all the hype. Here music is not disagreeable to me, but it just does not strike up any emotion IMHO.
Oh boy, now I'm in trouble !!! The Jones fans are going to be out for my blood !!! LOL

Not at all. There is absolutely no arguement that the woman has a wonderful voice and a sultry quality, but let's face it ... you have to like the kind of songs she sings or it's dullsville. I'm with crazyeddy (not so crazy, eddy), the albums can indeed put one to sleep.
I just had my first listen.....(hard to judge with only one listen) ...but I like it a lot. All the musicians are excellent...done with great taste. The sound is disappointing (I have a vinyl edition). I'm using a VPI Superscoutmaster/rim drive/classic platter/3D arm/Ortofon Winfield....the sonics are D+. ...the same as her other releases. Too bad...otherwise the record is very good indeed. (by the way...it sounds better with no antiskate.)
Well, the full album dropped on Spotify sometime last week and I've listened to it a couple of times this weekend. I didn't think the sound was awful. A few of the tracks sound a bit fuzzy or murky but they're not unlistenable by any means. I also don't think it sounds "like" Come Away with Me except for the fact that Norah sounds like Norah. I like the addition of the sax which is not an instrument she's used much in the past. I don't find it boring (but then I liked her earlier releases) and I'll probably buy the CD or the download.
