It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross

Haunting sounds.......2007-07-06
For 3 months, my Norah Jones CDs have taken over my car stereo. This woman is very talented!
The phenom Ms Jones.......2007-06-27
This is such an outstanding production, so much better than the later(I think) CD. Miss Jones should be careful which guitar players back her up. She should stick to Bill Frizell or maybe she should try Mark Knoffler, if she can get him away from Emmy Lou.
Glad i bought it ( Part II )...!.......2007-06-20
I knew that Nora Jones was good music but i had no idea just how good...My sister-in-law bought me this CD for Father's Day...i have listened to it 3 times today. The way i would describe her lyrics and delivery is equal to "Musical Rose Petals". So smooth and so inviting is her voice. I really love the Piano work also. Her birth name being "Geethali",Nora Jones along with the likes of Michael Buble have added a nice,new,fresh selection of music to today's currently enemic sound. This album made her only the second artist ever to sweep the "Big Four" being Album,Song,Record,& Artist of the Year at the Grammy Awards in 2003. Standouts for me include: "Come Away With Me","Don't Know Why", and i really like her rendition of Hank Williams SR.'s "Cold,Cold Heart". With her throw back to Billie Holiday/Roberta Flack days voice coupled with a very welcomed piano based style, Nora Jones can take me away anytime! If you've waited to give her a listen ,as did I, do yourself a favor and don't wait any longer.
I'd Love To...........2007-06-05
Okay, she's not quite a standards specialist, but a lot of people think Norah Jones is well on her way to setting some new standards of her own.
The daughter of famed Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, Jones grew up in Dallas with her mother, and her work is firmly rooted in the dry Texas soil. The youngest in this survey (she was born in 1979), Jones burst on the scene in 2002 with this debut album of nine original songs plus a handful of country and pop standards. Renowned for her sweet and soulful set of pipes, Jones has often been compared to Billie Holiday. There's also a touch of Roberta Flack and Emmylou Harris in there.
Come Away with Me is an honest-to-goodness country-blues recording that you can sit back with on the front porch rocker on a brisk autumn afternoon. Sort of like an early James Taylor, Jones mixes a little bit of country, folk, and soul into a collection that's the perfect antidote to today's insincere fare. The public must have sensed the same thing, because it bought this CD in boxcar loads, and in 2003 Jones walked away with eight Grammies, including album of the year and best new artist.
The title track, written by Jones, is the first new song I've heard in a long time that's utterly believable. "Come away with me and I'll never stop loving you," she begs, and it's as though she's singing it to you, personally. To Hank Williams's "Cold Cold Heart" she brings an R & B feel, petitioning in anguish to her lover man to come back, body and soul. "I've Got to See You Again" is an exquisite modern torch song in the same vein, while "One Flight Down" is an upbeat tune with chord progressions right out of Paul McCartney's Wings songs, like "Carry That Load." She ends with Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You." Close your eyes, let Jones's words envelope you with their soulful caress, and you'll sense that she's a lot nearer than your living room speakers.
Good for my ears........2007-06-02
I see some reviews calling her Snorah Jones, and others which debate whether what she sings is truly jazz. Who cares! If it tastes good I eat it: if it sounds good I listen to it. This girl possesses a unique and expressive vocal instrument. It sounds good to me, facilitative for relaxing in a comfortable chair with a martini or cabernet after a hard day's work. If I were three or four decades younger, it would be perfect make out music.

Cd Music.......2007-04-06
I was really looking forward
to this cd, but unfortunatally
I didnt receive it.
This version should be pulled........2004-12-02
One of the requirements of SACD releases, as set forth by Sony and Phillips, is that there be at least an SACD (DSD) stereo layer. The surround DSD and hybrid Red Book PCM CD compatible layers are optional. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the stereo DSD layer on this release was taken from the Red Book 16/44.1 PCM master used to make the CD layer. So Blue Note skirted a basic requirement of the format they were releasing on by deceptively scamming consumers into thinking they were getting a true SACD. As far as anyone knows, however, the surround SACD layer was taken directly from the 2 inch multitrack and sampled to DSD, then remixed and mastered to the SACD surround layer. I haven't heard anything to the contrary. As it stands right now, I agree with Fremer that Blue Note should simply apologize, pull the current release, rerelease a proper SACD, and give past purchasers a free exchange. I listened to the surround layer at my parents house in Oregon and was pleased at the music and sound quality. I do think it is overall a bit emotionally monotonal and placid though, as the recent SNL (or was it Mad TV) spoof parodied. But I think people who buy it are looking for that. Still enjoyable.
Let me clear up some of the misconceptions floating around:
Keep your universal DVD player set up internally for 5.1 channel with all channels on at fixed volume (usually max output), set to large, and your reciever/preamps on Surround Direct Analog with no digital conversion...then pray that you have a DVD player and reciever that doesn't do anything else funky. All of the older Denon universal units really messed with the sound. If you're still not getting good bass, then you need full range speakers. Never ever have speakers turned off or set to small in your DVD player when listening to SACD's. In fact, you shouldn't even do this with stereo CDs, since you'll mess up the dynamic range that the outputs are working at.
Most universal players use the original Sony DSD chip, which has a little port that connects to the DAC. Contrary to popular belief, SACD is not converted to DVD-Audio (PCM as opposed to the PWM of DSD) when it goes into that little port. That just sends the analog signal to the filter stage to lop off the high frequency noise. The only conversion that will ever occur is if you try and do bass management, which will kick the Sony converter chip into what's called Wide-DSD...a euphamism for a form of very high frequency PCM, also called Narrow PCM. It's still PCM, it's just that Sony doesn't like to call it that. So, keep everything On, Large, and Fixed in the player and Pure Analog Direct after it gets out and you'll probably be fine. Do volume changes in the reciever in the analog domain.
I also wouldn't trust the new players that convert everything to SACD internally to do bass management. It's another form of Wide-DSD. Why? Because you can't do computations with a 1-Bit format. You can't mix in SACD or produce in that format until you either convert it to analog or PCM. You can only record/master live to each descrete 1-Bit DSD channel, then you're stuck with it as is. All the SACD recording consoles are actually this psuedo-DVD-Audio format internally, though they likely sound quite good. To get true DSD through and through you either record/produce to analog tape, or you mix live, which is probably why Telarc likes the format so much.
PCM has good points and bad. PWM has good points and bad, too. They're both very low noise, but PCM tends to sound a bit artificial and lacking in that organic body of analog. PWM is hella organic and analog-like (probably due to its psuedo-analog 1-bit nature), but embeds subtle quantization noise within the signal permanently, often leaving it sounding not quite as transparent and Oh-My-God-clear and pristine as DVD-Audio at 192khz. Some engineers claim that the high frequencies are inferior in transient response to even normal Red Book CD, but transients are so difficult to measure, Red Book so rife with other problems, and DSD does so well in all the other departments (including other characteristics of its highs) that I find it to be a non-issue. At least you get SACD on all the channels in 5.1, definitely as good or better than 24/96. The last thing you want is conversion back and forth between the two formats internally; then you get the worst of both worlds. Remember that DSD was invented for archival purposes to permanently store the Columbia Records inventory. The archival format's actually twice the bitrate of consumer SACD, so it likely sounds as lovely as is claimed.
Poor Example of SACD.......2004-11-13
My rating of 2 stars applies to the SACD version of this record and not the CD. I consider the CD to be a 5 star recording. After carefully listening to both the two channel SACD mix and the CD stereo versions I could not discern an audible difference. I enjoyed the 5.1 mix and found the rear surround to be tasteful and subtle, not at all distracting, but, again, no significant improvement in detail except that created by spreading the sound around to five channels. A recent article on the "Stereophile" website suggests that the SACD mix in fact shares the same 16 bit lineage as the CD, which would explain why the two channel mix and the CD mix sound identical. Norah's label has cheated its customers with this one and should go back and do an actual DSD mix and replace these "CDs" for free or give us our money back. There is no reason to purchase this SACD in addition to or in lieu of the CD unless you are interested in listening to a standard resolution 5.1 mix.
I love this young lady..........2004-02-27
I have to agree with the others - the SACD analog mix in 5.1 was a blunder(4 stars). I borrowed this from a friend for a test run. I have the same content on DVD/video - Very nice... - When I choose to listen only - I just turn off the TV and listen to a very good 5.1 DD/EX version. I admit it is not quite the quality of SACD but very good nonetheless. Spyro Gyra has 2 SACD's available and they are the standard for SACD comparison - absolutely flawless... Waiting for 2 of my all-time favorites on SACD - Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore from the ABB... SACD is just a small notch above DVD-Audio - although with DVD-Audio you can also listen on most any DVD player that supports DTS, DD-5.1 and DD-Stereo. SACD's are more dicriminating - I bought the Onkyo DVSP-800 specifically because of the SACD and DVD-Audio discrete analog and outstanding DVD-progressive scan video capabilities...
SACD multi-channel mix is flawed.......2004-02-25
I agree with the previous review stating that the SACD mix is flawed. Even adding a +6dB boost to the subwoofer channel isn't good enough, so I have to resort to listening to the regular stereo mix instead. :(
Still, I give it 5 stars because it is Norah... but I will be complaining to Blue Note as well, because this is simply an amateurish error that makes me wonder if their engineers tested the mix properly. None of my other SACDs have this problem.

Customer Reviews:
What?.......2003-02-26
The stupid reviewer below me who doesn't know why this "junk" is selling should take a hint from all the Grammys she won! All of the tracks on this album are excellent and they all come together splendidly to create one immensely enjoyable CD, and What Am I To You? is a great non-commercial track available on this disc only.
Here is my review of the standard disc:
This debut is unspeakably outstanding. Norah is the best new artist to come out in 2002; she is neck-and-neck with Avril Lavigne. Make no mistake of course, their music is very different. (Incidentally, I bought both their albums the same day.) Norah's amazing voice permeates this exquisite album; she has the absolute best voice to emerge in the music industry for a very long time. It is descriptive and lush, relentlessly upbeat while at the same time beautifully laid back and relaxed. Her band is also wonderfully fresh-sounding, making this album likable even by fans of acoustic folk rock. Jones ebbs in and out of excellent new songs written by other artists for her, excellent new songs written by herself (including the outstanding title track), as well as fantastic standards such as the outstanding closing track THE NEARNESS OF YOU. Other excellent highlights include FEELIN THE SAME WAY "Another day that I can't find my head My feet don't look like they're my own I try and find the floor below to stand I hope I reach it once again", SEVEN YEARS "Fragile as a leaf in autumn falling to the ground without a sound Crooked little smile on her face tells a tale of grace that's all her own", and NIGHTINGALE "Tell me your tale Was your journey far too long Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer To a question I can't ask I don't know which way the feather falls If I should blow it to the left". Of course, all the songs are excellent here; there is no filler, but I thought I'd just give you a taste of what YOU SHOULD be purchasing. Don't purchase this album at your own risk is all I have to say.
Greatness!!!.......2003-02-24
Norah jones has the greatest voice ever. she is so awesome! I reccommend this for anyone who can appreciate great voices and also a mellowed out tune. This Album really chills you out if your having a bad day.
On the other hand..........2003-02-21
Norah Jones' music is mellow and laid-back, it's true. But it's also very good indeed, which is why she was Billboard Number 1 with this album. Soulful, talented, different - excellent.

Beautifully Melodic, Brilliantly Executed - Classic Norah.......2004-05-23
There aren't many musicians who can release a debut album and go on to become of the biggest superstars of the past decade in the space of a year. Norah Jones is clearly an exception to the rule. Her debut album "Come Away With Me" was released in the spring of 2002 and went no where for about a year. Few critics even knew it was on shelves and only a handful of music industry insiders knew her name. This all changed when the hype began to build and in February 2004, Norah Jones picked up a staggering 8 Grammy awards for the album - a record for a female artist. Suddenly Norah was big news and the album gradually ascended to the No.1 spot all over the world; suddenly jazz was cool; suddenly America had a new idol; suddenly, people began to wonder how such a young lady could make such simple music and break all the records and rules...
The album has since topped the charts in both the US and UK and just been certified for US sales of 9 million copies. Worldwide sales stand at 18 million and despite this success, Norah has many critics. Some can't believe her international fame and believe her as nothing more than a jazz/country wannabe with hardly anything to show for it. How wrong they are! Norah's voice is amazingly powerful and extremely soulful. She's chilled out and cool and people can listen to her music easily which is why she appeals to a phenomenally vast market. She also happens to be stunning in appearance, and that always helps. Come Away With Me is now a classic in modern music, a landmark of the times and is still going strong selling hundreds of thousands of copies around the world, with no sign of slowing down!
The second single to be taken from the album was the self-titled "Come Away With Me." This song was first used in adverts around the world, particularly in Europe and soon in 2002, by word-of-mouth, the song became know. The voice was famous, but the name wasn't. The Grammys obviously put a face to the name of the song, and here we have yet another classic from Norah! The song opens with a soft and gentle beat that breaks in so gently and quietly and the piano softly creeps in. Norah begins by singing the chorus, "Come away with me in the night. Come away with me and I will write you a song. Come away with me on a bus. Come away with me where they can't tempt us with their lies." This beauty is accompanied by the piano in the background, before Norah sings, "I want to walk with you on a cloudy day. In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high. So won't you try to come." This section is my particular favourite of the song because it is so visual and you get an image in your mind of a field in the middle of the country. Sometimes it's nice to just relax and contemplate on life. I'm as much a party boy as the rest of them, but I like to balance that contrast of the high life with chilling out!
Norah then sings the second verse, "Come away with me and we'll kiss. On a mountaintop. Come away with me and I'll never stop loving you." This is then followed by a gorgeous instrumental of bliss. This is the part where you think of the field and the mountaintop. Norah's vocals rise and she sings, "And I want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof. While I'm safe there in your arms. So all I ask is for you to come away with me in the night. Come away with me." The song then ends just as fantastically as it opened.
The video to Come Away With Me is really beautiful and once again works very well with the song's laid-back trademark that has become such a staple in the Norah Jones catalogue. We see Norah driving a car very slowly through the desert and the humor at the end is in that she receives a parking ticket for driving either too fast or slow, we're not sure either way! All in all, if you're looking for something beautiful to chill out to look no further than Norah Jones. She's the one who started the jazz trend currently sweeping the world and she does it the best! You don't have to be a middle-aged nerd to like her music. Hey, I'm a 16 year old guy at the centre of a cultural lifestyle in England and I adore her! Buy this, or the album of the same name, now.
I'll take this song away with me anytime.......2003-07-28
"Come Away With Me", the title album track, perfectly blends pop and jazz. Her quiet, soothing voice gives radio mainstream the needed variety. She showcases her just-as-excelled piano talents. Her written lyrics and musical theme spice a night out of town with that special someone and a walk along the beach. Those who like "Come Away With Me" should buy her album and the single "Don't Know Why".
Come away with Norah's beautiful voice.......2003-04-06
Norah Jones the unexpected Star of 2002. Her beautiful voice is sweet and has that rare talent of making you forget your problems and drift away to a better place. COME AWAY WITH ME my personal favorite song on the album. It is simple beautiful song it doesn't overload you with anything you just have to sit down and listen to Norah's beautiful voice.
The CD also contains live versions of COLD COLD HEART and TURN ME ON. Both songs which appear on her album COME AWAY WITH ME. I will admit though they take a few listens to really get into them but it is worth it. Norah's music is excellent and is one of the few artists who deserve the sucess they have had.
Another Great Import Single from Norah!.......2002-12-30
This CD single is most certainly worth owning if you full-fledgedly like Norah's album. It contains the splendid, lush, absolutlely dreamy and 20's-esque Jones-penned title track to the LP and is backed with 2 exclusive and outstanding live takes of TURN ME ON and COLD COLD HEART. On TURN ME ON she laughs and says, "I guess I'll start now." Both songs segue into each other. The intimacy of the live setting as well as the presence of an extremely thrilled and clapping audience members makes these takes arguably better than those on the album.
MY ADVICE: Get the album first. It is almost the same price of the single as it is. If you then love the album, buy this CD. It will be worth its price to you.

Customer Reviews:
Another Tribute album..........2003-12-02
Upon listening to this CD, one ponders the question why re-create songs that are already in this arrangement? Norah Jones is very mello, dull and boring as it is. All of her work is through-composed. She just writes as she goes with no attention to form.
These Vitamin guys must be cranking these CD's out in bulk just hoping that one will cash in. Do we really need muzak versions of all these rock-pop artists? The music was created originally for a certain ensemble. Putting it in string format does not heighten it's credibility. Furthermore Vitamin keeps hiring the same people to do these arrangements,why not at least experiement and make logical new arrangements based on the music (i.e. maybe a smooth jazz for Norah) to offer a fresh version-whoops you might steal that idea now...also I heard the tracks from the guy that was originally hired to do this..Joe Andolino.. and he's a great arranger. Too bad Vitamin doesn't care. Based on the used copies available of this already it speaks for itself.
