One-trick?  Utter nonsense.  Her work on RP reduces your argument to rubble in no time flat.

I'm with you, Randomax.  She has turned out to be a one-trick pony if ever there was one. Ho-hum at best.

i loved her sound the first 4,239,682 times I heard her 1st album on mainstream...i grew very tired of it however.  sorry norah

...his shirts smell more like you than me...

  Nice to hear this again in the mix.

Definitely agree. Really love the use of elec. piano here, great bluesy progression, and terrific backing from the group (drums especially groovy.)

Should say though that her duet w/Dolly Parton on the same disc is really great as well. 

Hotwired talent. Superb choice of material, superb musicians and superior vocal skills are her hallmark. Fabulous future ahead for both Norah and her listeners......

Don't think I ever would have lent Norah an ear had it not been for RP introducing me to this number a few years back. Thanks, Bill and Rebecca!

Still something about her music that feel 'artificial' - wish I could put my finger on why I feel that way - but this is much better than the overplayed breathy stuff I've heard previously.

I get the sense she's got some amazing pipes but just won't let 'em rip.

Much less snore-inducing than her most well-known first album. She even manages to sing somewhat louder than pianissimo.

Agreed especially from someone who rates Townes van Zandt a 10. Roll on brother Odyzzeuz

My thoughts exactly, hermano.

I agree with you, but not at all surprised by the negative comments, the beauty of RP is the diversity... in music and in it's listeners

Can't understand some of your complaining comments.

This is an outstanding voice combined with soft, jazzy music.

Have to purchase this.

Muzak is in the eye of the beholder. Now I have heard Son Volt's new song played at Home Depot (yeah, they're cool retailers!), but its a pretty safe bet you'll never hear Porcupine Tree at any similar venue/outlet.

This Norah Jones woman is pretty good. Her music is pretty much from the heart and its good background music. And she appeals to a lot of people.

Clue.

Retailers like to play music we know and recognize to make us feel more at home and willing to spend money because we feel catered to.

No more repetitive than Jones' lullabyes. Maybe the point was that it's still muzak no matter how much you attempt to cloak it in the vapid language of music critics. News flash -- it's still muzak.

Worked like Ipecac.

Unexpectedly, she has a song on the soundtrack of Ken Burn's "The War". It was an odd pairing of her and WW11 footage but it worked.

This is why I read the song comments. For keen insights.

Love me some NJ! And yes.. I WOULD have her baby...*grin*
