Norah Jones a tinge short

I love female vocals, Kd Lange, Linda Rondstat, Bonnie Ryatte to name a few. And I love Norah Jones voice, So I ran out and purchased come away with me. Though I could easily listen to it, I was a tad dissapointed in the reocording quality on CD. I could hear her mic shean (glare), tinny and a tad thin, which kept her wonderful voice from ringing clear through my Theil 3.6s. I tried some Sheryl Crow bam she was right there in my living room. I tried the Norah CD again and the sound thined and tinned. I was saddend, anybody else share this same opinion, or dissagree?

I am not a fan of the singer, but, that aside, I did expect the CD to be well recorded, given that everyone was using it at CES a few years ago.

I found it to be quite poor as far as the miking of the vocals. The rest of it sounded decently recorded. I have no interest in the LP (because I don't like the singer), but I would be surprised if the LP is good because what I heard on the CD sounded like a problem in the recording itself. Could it be that a different mix/master was used for the LP or do people really not hear/care about singers over-blowing into a microphone?
