I agree.  This is a fantastic album, I enjoy it much more then the Norah solo stuff.  Much more depth musically and not nearly as repetitive.

 

i think i agree. norahs solo stuff is oh so sweet & b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l & niiiiice, but a tad boring & uneventless to me. i like the "big-voice-well-almost-amazon-style" (...I'm exaggerating...) she's sporting in this song, much better...

here, in this song, I hear character/personality. she actually USES her fantastic voice. I miss that in her solo stuff...

Yes, I do some pretty absorbing computer work myself, and I thought this stood out... The composition was excellent and her voice worked with it... made it better and more complete as a work. Upgraded it from 7 to 8 .

Honestly, I greatly prefer this over her solo stuff.  It's a lot more interesting in my opinion.  Her solo stuff is fine I guess, and every now and then something grabs me, but for the most part it all sounds the same to me.

Norah's best stuff is with this group, IMO.   The album link here points to the wrong album, BTW. 

TYVM.  OXO.  YMMV.  TTFN.

seen that done with a CX500 as well. I'd prefer the Guzzi though. Bigger motor. I ride a ST1100. That too would make a good light car motor.

I think I just realized what a big Nora Jones fan I am.  Her awesomeness kind of sneaks up on you.   Wonderful singer.

This is a great song.  Different to her solo stuff and equally brilliant but in a totally different way.  Very clever Ms. Jones and the Peter Malick Group.

Norah has one of those special voices, sometimes she is compromised by the recording companies and has to do more commercial stuff but no denying her talent

It seems a number of vocal RP listeners have a visceral reaction to NJ because she has been a commercial success lately, and they only wish to make allowances for mainstream artists who were successes before 1980. You'll note the same trend with Dave Mathews, Eddie Vedder, Coldplay, and others. Bill does a great job of highlighting lesser-known works by mainstream artists while avoiding the commercial chaff.




Spot on! This is the sad truth. Globally recognized bands like Pink Floyd always seem to get the benefit of the doubt and are touted as "genius", but recent successes are thrown to the wolves because they're too mainstream. DMB is mainstream, but that doesn't mean they aren't as talented.

I pride myself on an eclectic playlist, mostly thanks to the teachings of RP, but I also have a place in my heart for masterwork which has come in the last ten years.
