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.

to me Norah Jones was a fad (again and again) that can easily slip back up and make me fall in love with her voice again, but I don't listen to her more than a few hours a year. She is very talented, versatile, down to earth, and never takes herself too seriously, a lovely person with a great voice.

 

I tried Diana Krall a dozen times, and failed, I don't get it. Never enjoyed a moment of it.

Come away with me is definitely a standout album vocally, musically,song wise with audiophile production and sound , I don't think any of her other albums match it.

Johnto:

That's the album I have, but will look into her other workings as I have not listened to them.

There are two DK songs that stand out. Not much else IMO.  Haven’t listen to NJ at all. Generally prefer instrumentals. But played Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass earlier today. Forgot how good that was. In any case…
