"Popsicle Toes"
YIKES!!!
Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
Norah Jones is the darling of Jazz and Audiophile press for a few years. I've heard her albums, maybe even bought one. Look, being a musical artist is hard as hell and I can't do it, but I realize in listening to others talk about her that I'm missing something special while listening to her.
Please, without wanting to pile on her, if you love her tell me why. What has you going about Miss Jones that makes her a standout? No wrong answers.

I'm mostly disappointed that you missed the opportunity to weave "don't know why" into the topic... I'm not a fan of a lot of audiophile music, so I completely understand your sentiment. I've purchased several audiophile albums and can often recognize the quality of the recording, but still don't always connect. I only the the one Norah Jones album and do enjoy it from time to time. It's sort of light jazz which is why I can enjoy it. I agree with @jerryg123 about Diana Krall... |
I think Nora Jones proves that anyone with a resaonably good voice can become a start if the "machine" gets behind them. She has a musical predigree, she's easy on the eys and a resonable singer/songwriter. But worthy of stradom? I've never found her that special. For that I go to Joni Mitchell, or Phoebe Snow, or Linda Ronstadt, or KD Lang, Ella Fitzgerald, or Ruth Brown ................. there's just so many. IMHO |
Norah Jones is what most musicians would consider the real deal, why?
Outside jazz circles incredibly underrated in my opinion especially for her songwriting. Makes difficult music seem incredibly simple, when it’s just the opposite. Maybe a little too laid back in performance but not in the energy she puts into shows. Worth looking on YouTube at remake of first album that was shown earlier this year.
