I have known about singer Norah Jones for years, but I had only heard a hand full of her songs until I was asked to review her new CD called "...Featuring Norah Jones". The CD includes 18 songs that are 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.
The songs were all recorded over the past decade and it is just a treasure chest of good music. I have always thought Norah sounds more country than bluesy and this CD contains a few country songs that really fit her voice. But the surprising songs for me were the Rap tunes where Norah provides the background beats.
Norah sings a duet with Willie Nelson - "Baby It's Cold Outside" that is just right for the upcoming holiday season. My favorite song is track 7 "The Best Part", which is hauntingly beautiful and she also sings jazz with Herbie Hancock covering the Joni Mitchell song "Court and Spark".
Jazz, Country, Rap - "... Featuring Norah Jones" has it all.
