Nora Jones Featuring Album Review

Norah Jones' new album, …Featuring, is a star-studded collection of the multi-platinum selling, multi-Grammy Award winning singer’s musical collaborations from the past decade.  

The 18 songs on the album include cool cameos, collaborations and duets with such legends as Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton, and with 21st Century icons from OutKast to the Foo Fighters.

“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.” 

The tracks on …Featuring span Norah’s entire career and reveal her astonishing musical versatility, from jazz to country, hip-hop to rock.

My Thoughts:  I have always been a huge fan of Nora Jones  Along with her smooth jazzy voice her music encourages you to just kick back with a glass of wine and relax.  Her first album Come Away With Me hooked me and I have been a listener ever since.  She has earned many Grammy Awards for her past albums and I think this one will be no different.  The song selections on this album range from the classics performed by artists such as Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to newer music performed by Q-Tip & the Foo Fighters.  In my opinion Featured would make an excellent gift this Holiday Season.
