What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread?

Certainly not from me: B-O-R-I-N-G (including, I have no doubt, the de rigueur pristinely antiseptic studio sound). Kinda cute though I suppose, and that's usually enough for middle-aged male audiophiles when it comes to breathy young female vocalists...Oh well, as long as it helps finance Blue Note reissues of real jazz I guess I shouldn't complain...Enjoy away!

Let me say it, I'm a Norah Jones fan. I too would love a CD of other song writers songs. If you would like a little sample, listen to -Norah Jones-Live in New Orleans- DVD. At the end of the DVD, after the show, after the credits, she does the old Patti Page song-Tennessee Waltz. I would buy a CD if that was the only song on it.

I don't find her boring at all but this wasn't the original poster's question. He wanted input on the new CD and was not requesting opinions on whether we like or don't like Norah Jones.

My red vinyl copy is noisy. I've carefully cleaned it with both RRL fluids with little improvement. Just another example of the total lack of quality control by Classic Records and RTI. I was hoping that the 150 might be better than the woefully inconsistent 200g pressings they put out with regularity. Not to be. This is really too bad with this record considering it is an analog recording that could have been outstanding. I almost always prefer records to cds but if noise puts you off stick with the CD>

OK, I picked it up today for the $9.99 introductory price. So now I'm qualified to answer the original poster. The question was "How is it". The answer is "boring". Sounds very much like the previous two. Actually, I think it sounds like a combination of the previous two.

It's not bad, just "the same". There are about 3 cuts that I would enjoy if they were part of a compliation or came up in a random/suffle along with other stuff I enjoy. But for me, it's way too much of the same thing.

Enjoy,
