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.

Norah Jones is what most musicians would consider the real deal, why?

  1. Excellent vocals and unique tone and timbre 
  2. Excellent songwriting 
  3. Excellent playing of various instruments particularly piano
  4. Excellent recordings of her material and bands
  5. Excellent performer live without relying on auto tune or other musical tricks

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.
