NORAH JONES - Feels Like Home (Deluxe
Edition)
The hype of the meteoric rise of Norah Jones
has simmered down somewhat. Norah
and her Handsome Band do what they do best. Her music is still a relaxing,
tranquil blues and jazz tinged trip of languid sounds and moods. Norah
& her gang don't try to make things complicated. You know what to expect
- not a bad thing, as you know where to turn to if that is what you're
looking for. Feels Like Home delivers a chilled out flow of lovely
sounds. The material also include the Tom Waits
penned The Long Way Home and Townes van
Zandt's Be Here To Love Me. The closing
track (Don't Miss You At All) incorporates elements form Duke
Ellington's Melancholia. A country taste
moseys on through with the legendary Dolly Parton
supplying guest vocals on Creepin' In. And no, Ms.
Jones hasn't trimmed her clothing to reveal more,
nor has she turned her music artificial to appeal to the young brats to
broaden the sales base. Thank God.
This special deluxe edition CD includes three bonus tracks plus an extra
DVD with four live tracks (In The Morning, She, The Long Way Home &
Creepin' In), two music videos (Sunrise and What Am I To
Do?) plus an 18-minute interview with Norah.
