Album Description
Norah has taken a new direction on the The Fall, experimenting with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partners Jesse Harris & Richard Julian. Musicians include drummers Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and James Gadson (Bill Withers), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green), and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer). The first single/video is for the album's lead track 'Chasing Pirates'.

 Love songs!!!!!!....boring... July 10, 2010

My title pretty much sums it up, though I did hear the distortion one reviewer mentioned.
Women...and their love songs!!! This is why I am so bored by women singers. They have to have something more important to write about then lost love. Almost EVERY EFFing song. BORING!!!!!
Pretty though. The last song I can identify with. All she's left with is her dog..."to be her man". Take it from me that is boring too.
 A Come-Down For Blue Note: No Stars June 13, 2010

Even though I own two of Ms. Jones albums, having just seen her on Good Morning America, where they have no blog of their own, I say that, from her appearance, she is out of character with her record label's rich legacy of archived performers such as Jimmy Smith and Mr. Cole. Wherever Ms. Jones belongs, Blue Note can do better. No, she is not bad, but disappointing considering her connection to Blue Note.
 Never second guess greatness June 8, 2010

If you are on the fence about buying this CD, just stop and remind yourself "it's Norah Jones". As sweet as her voice is, how could it not be great? Buy it, you won't be sorry.
love this CD June 6, 2010

I love this CD...I think it is the best Norah Jones CD yet. I love her soothing voice.
As a Not-So-Faithful Fan...I LOVE IT! May 25, 2010

What I mean by my title is that I liked Norah Jones when she first debuted, but after a while, I found her to be a little "soft" for my tastes. I have tuned in and out over the past few years and am happy to say that this album has got my FULL attention! This is, for me, a fabulous, complex and yet simple album that adds a lovely (gritty?) depth to Norah's musical repertoire--I can truly appreciate the change of pace and NJ's willingness to experiment. Her current sound is definitely heavier than I have heard in the past, but in an extremely pleasing way. I cannot define the genre of this title, but to my untrained ear, I think her influences encompass rock, folk, jazz, blues...a harmonious blend indeed. I must say that I understand how some critics feel as though they have been disappointed by "The Fall," although I feel TOTALLY differently; I know that most of us want our favorite artists to keep putting out that comfy old shoe style that we come to know and love, but these are ARTISTS and risks have to be taken for the sake of personal growth. In my opinion, this risk paid off big time, but hey--you like what you like. I would challenge any folks who are put off at the first listen to keep this in rotation for a while. Give Norah a fair shot here, and I really do think that she (and her new crew) will win you over!
