Norah Jones a tinge short

I love female vocals, Kd Lange, Linda Rondstat, Bonnie Ryatte to name a few. And I love Norah Jones voice, So I ran out and purchased come away with me. Though I could easily listen to it, I was a tad dissapointed in the reocording quality on CD. I could hear her mic shean (glare), tinny and a tad thin, which kept her wonderful voice from ringing clear through my Theil 3.6s. I tried some Sheryl Crow bam she was right there in my living room. I tried the Norah CD again and the sound thined and tinned. I was saddend, anybody else share this same opinion, or dissagree?

Gotta agree Norah on Blue Note (not the HDCD) is harsh on the highs. Enough to give me a headache after 5-6 songs.

Women who don't sing love songs?!?!?! C'mon man, there's plenty. Just as fast as I can type, off the top of my head, and among my favorites:

Patty Griffin
Tori Amos
Laurie Anderson
Lucinda Williams
Rory Block
Gillian Welch
Mary Gauthier
Lori Carson
Margo Timmons (Cowboy Junkies)
Karen Paris (Innocence Mission)
Joanna Newsome
Karin Bergquist (Over the Rhine)
Patricia Barber
(Leslie) Feist

I can go on if I go into my CD drawer, but that's as far as my wee memory can spew forth at the moment. Jeez, when I think about I actually can't think of many female vocalists that I enjoy who DO sing love songs!!

Arkprof - Good call on Mary Margaret. I also have the soundtrack to "Apartment Hunting", but not as good as Miss America. Is she still around and recording? Her CD's are all out of print and pricey. Good stuff though!
