Norah Jones - Feels like home

My wife calls norah jones, borah jones. she's quite clever. but then again her attention span for music is about 2 minutes long. Generally she'll put a cd on in the car and bop along to the first verse and chorus of a song before calling out "boring" or "next" and skipping to the next track. She'll find this one equally as enjoyable for about 120 seconds before the enthusiasm will fade and we'll skip right on to the next track. when we reach the end of the cd we'll most likely go back to the least boring of the tracks and listen to that one again. needless to say i have to make a lot of CD's for her to keep her interested and me sane. So norah jones wouldn't make it past the 5 second mark if ever a song of hers dared to be on while my wife was in control of the cd player. My feelings are that she has an amazing voice, picks some great song writing partners and has surrounded herself with quality musicians. This album has more of a country feel than her debut and features writing credits for Adam Levy, Townes Van Sandt and Tom Waits amongst others as well as a duet with Dolly Parton. The best songs are the simplest, the ear candy of Sunrise, the bluesy be here to love me and the meandering the prettiest thing
