Don't Miss You At All Listen Listen Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Norah Jones blew everybody away with her jazzy, country-tinged, Grammy-winning debut CD, Come Away with Me . On this recording, Jones doesn't mess with her trademark formula. Under Arif Mardin's cozy coproduction, Jones is supported by her writing partners, her Handsome Band, and some special guests (country legend Dolly Parton , Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of the Band , and jazz drummer Brian Blade , to name a few). Jones's Texas-twanged vocals and her sparse acoustic and electric Wurlitzer piano lines enliven the CD's 13 tracks, from the light and lively single "Sunrise" to Tom Waits 's "The Long Way Home" and the bouncy duet with Parton, "Creepin' In." Jones's soul-baring piano/vocal rendition of Duke Ellington 's "Melancholia," retitled "Don't Miss You at All," proves she's a true Blue Note artist with unlimited potential. --Eugene Holley Jr. Album Description 'Feels Like Home' features 13 tracks & a host of special guests including Dolly Parton, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson of the Band, Jesse Harris, Robert Burger and Tony Scherr.

Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. 151 of 167 people found the following review helpful: A different side of Norah Jones , February 22, 2004 Reviewer: Abby (Pittsburg, Kansas United States)- See all my reviews The latest album from Norah Jones, "Feels Like Home" shows us a different side of a singer who clearly has some diverse tastes. Where her debut "Come Away With Me" was reminiscent of Jazz singers like Billie Holiday and Rosemary Clooney, "Feels Like Home" has more of a Gillian Welch sound to it, a feeling that's only enhanced by Jones' duet with Dolly Parton on the bouncy track "Creepin' In". But that doesn't make it any less spectacular. Jones' voice is still beautiful, her piano playing is lovely, and her backup musicians, The Handsome Band, are amazing. Fans of "Come Away" won't be disappointed, despite the change of style. Something else that you see on "Home" that you didn't get before was more of Jones writing her own songs. Most of the tracks here are co-written, but Jones did write one track, "What Am I to you", herself. I will say that Jones is no lyrical genius, but the lyrics take a backseat to the still hauntingly beautiful instrumental work, especially on "Carnival Town", which has a nice string arrangement by the album's co-producer Arif Mardin. So, to sum up: "Feels Like Home" is quite different from "Come Away with Me", but it's no less great. Jones maintains the casual, relaxed quality of her music, and leaves fans more than satisfied. I can't wait to see what she comes out with next. Judging from this album, she can continue experimenting with whatever style she wants, and she'll still produce a wonderful work of art.

I remember standing around in that humid little red bathroom through almost 3 tracks (not exactly good protocol on a date) totally enraptured by the the "not quite raspy, not quite silk" quality of her voice, the seductive cadence in her rythm, and delicious instramental accompaniments. I was an immediate fan and bought her CD the next day. Norah singlehandedly branded my entire summer of 2002 as "romantic" with her first major work. So with nervous anticipation I had my first listen of this CD tonight, and without further ado, I'm so happy to report that "Feels Like Home" (in my opinion) is as good or better than "Come Away With Me". Thank you Norah! From what I know of Norah Jones, she got her musical career really moving when she moved from Texas to New York City. I'm guessing here, but if I had to ascribe a dominant geographic influence to each album, I'd say Come Away "leans New York" while Feels Like Home seems rooted more in Texas. Perhaps that's why this new album is named what it is...? The only song on this CD I didn't immediately love is "Creepin In". It moves fast, is definitively country (I'm fairly certain Dolly Parton is singing along, but I don't have the album cover), yet it's very catchy and fun (as testimony, I found myself humming it tonight in the shower). Below is a list of songs that (if you love her past work) you'll immediately adore: Sunrise: I got an advance listen to this track a couple of months ago and fell in love with it at first listen. I think it's one of the loveliest songs on the album. What Am I To You: Beautiful BB King style R&B track. Will certainly be a huge hit. When I first listened to this CD I couldn't get past this particular song. I listened to it a half-dozen times straight. Carnival Town: Mostly guitar and piano (which is when I think she's at her best), the intricacy in her luscious voice is amplified and really stands out for appreciation. In The Morning: If I decided to do what I threatened so often as a kid to do, and "ranaway", this would be the perfect song to play as I screamed out of town in some hastily acquired convertible...Rambling Anyone? Sorry...This track is intense (not loud), with a wonderful buildup and easy flowing rhythm punctuated by passionate lyrics that then break into cool but subdued R&B. Toes: Norah at her best! Dreamy and romantic, the rhythm moves unpredictably but "just right" between light and heavy. Yikes, if that's not ambigious (might make more sense to you when you hear it). Humble Me: Hauntingly lonely guitar entres this song about struggle, desperation, and forgiveness. Ooh this one is good! The Prettiest Thing: This is a slam dunk hit. A jazzy, slow rhythm that picks up in tempo and seduces you into focusing on what is probably her most romantic moment in the CD (occurs around 2 minutes 45 seconds into this track). Forgive me if this is overly dramatic (it's 2am at the writing of this review), but this song literally gave me the chills. And on that note, I'll sign off. Enjoy this elegant work of art, you won't be dissapointed. Was this review helpful to you?

"horror fanatic" (Florida USA)- See all my reviews Soul/bluegrazz/jazz is how you descirbe Norah Jones. With great songs thoughout the album, its no wonder why she went platinum with this one. She shows of her vocal applitly hitting very high notes and low ones. The band is great on this album. They have such a variety in there instrumentation and note progression. Beautiful. I loved this album and so will you. Jared (buy) Was this review helpful to you?

(Iraq via Denver)- See all my reviews In the modern world of hustle and bustle people don't take time for music like this and for me it's been a revelation. I'm just getting into Blues. I have listened to Jazz for many many.... many years but haven't really taken time with the Blues. She has taken some Mississippi mud and formed something I didn't expect to find. This music is timeless because she brings you back to the where Blues came from but in a clean modern setting. She is essential music in my opinion and highly undervalued as a musician. I own both of her musical ventures to date and both of these are very powerful in their simplicity, straight forwardness and honesty. The sheer majesty that people miss in her music is that she isn't pretentious about who she is but she knows her value. This is good stuff. Was this review helpful to you?

Hogan (bratislava, slovakia)- See all my reviews I don't understand why this CD is rated 'Enhanced' rather than 'Content Protected'. I cannot play it in my computer, and I cannot transfer songs from it to my phone. I'm sorry I paid good money for this disc, and I'm doing my best not to buy 'protected' CDs from ANY artist. Can't Amazon clearly label such CDs, so I can buy others instead? Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 11 of 14 people found the following review helpful: Another beauty from Norah Jones , August 22, 2005 Reviewer: Dr. Emil Shuffhausen (Central Gulf Coast)- See all my reviews There are no signs of "sophomore slump" on this, Norah Jones' second CD. As on her debut, her smoky blend of jazz, country, and classic piano pop continues to intoxicate and delight. While she doesn't stray far away from her foundations, she does show signs of growth and moderate experimentation. This CD reminds me somewhat of Willie Nelson's best work (the way he can blend Texas sawdusty outlaw country with sophisticated jazzy Reinhardtisms). Norah has an earthy groundedness that nicely counterpoints her light, breathy voice. The album opener, "Sunrise," is perfect...not only as a lovely individual track, but as the album opener. It sets a mood that is both reflective and sprightly...a little playful, but also pensive. "What Am I to You?" is a deeply felt, bluesy song, as is "In the Morning." These two cuts sandwich the picturesque "Carnival Town." Norah hits the listener right in the gut with the velvet brick, "Humble Me," but she will definitely make you smile with her Dolly Parton duet, "Creepin' In." On "Don't Miss You at All," her heart, soul, and voice let you know that her words are not really true. There's something special about Texas singers: Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Janis Joplin, Roy Orbison...and Norah Jones. They have a way of taking the music from deep in their hearts, and putting it deep into yours. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) See all 578 customer reviews...
