Norah Jones – Featuring…

It’s easy to cast Norah Jones as ‘Snorah’, purveyor of bland dinner party muzak that’d send anyone to sleep. Easy, but not true, as this compilation of her best collaborations shows. Over 18 tracks taken from this first decade of her career, Jones has proven to be a prolific and inventive collaborator, her rich voice slotting into a variety of genres. There’s rollicking bluegrass with Dolly Parton on Creepin’ In, acoustic soul with Outkast on the sublime Take Off Your Cool and political rap with Talib Kweli on Soon The New Day.
