Not Too Late by Norah Jones Blue Note

Product Description: Although the music of Norah Jones continues to blend pop, soul, folk, and country with a seasoning of jazz, her third album for Blue Note is the first where she's written (or collaborated on) all the material. Beneath the smooth surface lie darker strains on the album-opening "Wish I Could" (about a boyfriend lost to war), intimations of mortality in "The Sun Doesn't Like You," and the post-election horrors of "My Dear Country." The last seems to channel the inspiration of Brecht/Weill, while the equally bleak "Sinkin' Soon" is set to a jaunty Dixieland rag. Throughout, Jones's vocal intimacy and melodic warmth remain as disarmingly understated as ever. The soulful "Thinking of You," the countryish "Wake Me Up," and the syncopated "Be My Somebody" reflect the captivating style of her previous work. Although too much in the same midtempo mode becomes a dreamy lull, cut by cut, Jones's voice is irresistible. --Don McLeese

3 stars Norah Jones
Not Too Late
I liked this CD release but prefer early album "Come away with Me."

1 stars NOT INTERESTED
I think Norah Jones has a wonderful voice, but I don't have to hear her sing her liberal views. I own her first two great albums, but I definitely will not buy this one.

5 stars A Must Have for Norah Jones Fans
If you like Norah Jones, you'll love this CD. I'm a huge fan and the tracks on this CD are quintessential Norah. I love it!

3 stars Some excellent music, but too expensive
I rarely buy albums because mostly they contain songs I don't like and then feel remorse for spending $20 for a couple of good songs. This album fits that pattern for me. It contains one excellent song, two OK songs, and the rest I just skip over. Buying one song at a time using MP3 services is looking better to me all the time.

5 stars Not too Late
Norah Jones 3rd album sounds a lot like the first album, that I liked as well. Didn't care too much for album number 2 though. The lady just rocks my soul!
