Norah Jones ...Featuring {Review}

I must admit, I've had a hard time listening to this album. Not because I haven't enjoyed the music, but because Christmas music started playing on the radio the same time this c.d. arrived. And I LOVE Christmas music. But I also love Norah Jones. I did not realize the music that this album had to offer. It should have been obvious from the title, ...Featuring, that the music would include other artists featuring Norah Jones. I did not realize this until I was reading through the track list.

...Featuring Track Listing:

1. Love Me – The Little Willies

2. Virginia Moon – The Foo Fighters featuring Norah Jones

3. Turn Them – Sean Bones featuring Norah Jones

What an eclectic variety of music! I especially liked track #4 Baby it's Cold Outside. You know, to go along with my current Christmas music theme!

...Featuring arrived in stores November 16th and is a collection of the multi-platinum, Grammy award winning singer's collaborations from the past decade. Songs include duets with legends such as Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton. Norah also partners with 21st century icons like OutKast and Foo Fighters. This album includes styles from jazz to country and hip-hop to rock.

“A lot of the people on this record are people I've worshiped since I was a kid, and some of them are younger and more my contemporaries,” says Norah. “Even though the musicians are so varied, the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them all together.”

While not all for the songs were the style of music I normally listen too, it was fun to hear Norah in all of the different music genres. And while I may be pushing repeat on track #4 for now, I look forward to listening to this album again and again after Christmas! For more info about Norah Jones and ...Featuring, visit her
