Norah Jones just released a new album- “Featuring”

This is a collection of songs that spans her career, and work with her previous 4 albums. She has songs on …Featuring range from classics recorded by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, and Roy Orbison to new material by such wide-ranging artists as Ryan Adams and Q-Tip. My husband is quite the Norah Jones fan, which surprises me, since he is usually an alternative/metal head, which I can’t STAND!!

But apparently, he has a love of Ms. Jones. It’s OK, I’m not the jealous type. 🙂

And I tease him all the time, lol.

The track listing for …Featuring is as follows:

1. Love Me – The Little Willies
2. Virginia Moon – The Foo Fighters featuring Norah Jones
3. Turn Them – Sean Bones featuring Norah Jones
4. Baby It’s Cold Outside – Willie Nelson featuring Norah Jones
5. Bull Rider – Norah Jones and Sasha Dobson
6. Ruler Of My Heart – Dirty Dozen Brass Band featuring Norah Jones
7. The Best Part – El Madmo
8. Take Off Your Cool – OutKast featuring Norah Jones
9. Life Is Better – Q-Tip featuring Norah Jones

10. Soon The New Day – Talib Kweli featuring Norah Jones
11. Little Lou, Prophet Jack, Ugly John – Belle & Sebastian featuring Norah Jones
12. Here We Go Again – Ray Charles featuring Norah Jones
13. Loretta – Norah Jones featuring Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
14. Dear John – Ryan Adams featuring Norah Jones
15. Creepin’ In – Norah Jones featuring Dolly Parton
16. Court & Spark – Herbie Hancock featuring Norah Jones
17. More Than This – Charlie Hunter featuring Norah Jones
18. Blue Bayou – Norah Jones featuring M. Ward

This album was, for both of us, hit or miss. I liked it less then he did, but we both liked the songs that featured the Foo Fighters and Willie Nelson. Norah Jones’ melodic voice felt strange to me with some of the artists. My husband’s take was that “they just weren’t memorable, I was expecting something different”.

It was not a bad album, but I liked her other ones much better. We have all of them, so I guess this was just not what we are used to.
