Norah Jones

She hardly wrote any of the music she sang to get famous. Mostly all covers.

Taking a close look at her first 2 albums, this statement seems to be more incorrect than correct.

Debut album,
She wrote 2; both released as singles, 1 being the title cut, and co-wrote a 3rd. 3 were covers with 1 released as a single. The remaining 8 were written by band members with 2 released as singles.

2nd album,
She wrote 1, released as a single, and co-wrote 5 with 1 released as a single. 3 were covers. The remaining 4 were written by band members with 1 released as a single.

Love her work with Danger Mouse on "Rome"

Love the passion guys! I'm in that camp that doesn't get her vocal appeal, or I should say she doesn't engage me. I also find her boring and too found it very difficult to listen through her first album. I wouldn't say she has a bad voice, actually it is quite distinctive but doesn't ring a chord with me. Maybe if I saw her live a light would go on, nah, I doubt that.

Her country cd "Little Willies" is a go-to in my house. Great songs and musicianship and I am not a big country fan. She really knows how to pick a song. Second Little Willies cd is not nearly as good. Agree on her versatility - anyone see her sing "Funny, how time slips away" on the Willie Nelson 80th b-day bash? Fabulous.

Dad helps her lots.
