Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again???

I have a copy of Norah's version of Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." It's unremarkable. There is some nice instrumental work on her first CD, which is the only reason I listen to it. As others have said, I WANT to like her, but each song is pretty similar and I get bored after 5 or 6 tracks. She is, at least, a respite from all the other pop-crap on the airwaves these days.

My favorite Norah is her covers of "More Than This" by Bryan Ferry and "Day is Done" by Nick Drake on Charlie Hunter's "songs from the analog playground" Everything on her own gets a little pedestrian after awhile....

I concur with Zaikesman here. However, I do believe she is very talented and can only get better with age. After all: she is very young and her voice will surely mature.

did she write any of her original songs?
a singer is only as good as the songs they sing...
so unless she, or the record company has spent the time/money to find quality stuff, vs just running with the new hot name "norah jones"...

She co-writes on the occassional number but it's one of her band that writes the majority of the original stuff.
I don't think it matters Geoff the next record will sell off the back of the original anyway.

On a side note I bought the last Outkast CD this week-really quite impressive and musical-Norah Jones guests on this album on a more acoustic track.
Outkast are in the Rap/Rn'B field but this double CD has impressed me,not unlike the type of eclectic mix Prince did on Sign O'The Times.
