Norah Jones, 'The Fall' (Blue Note)

Don't know why she didn't do this before.

Thanks to the involvement of folks like Ryan Adams (who cowrote one song) and Kings of Leon producer Jacquire King, The Fall has been billed as Norah Jones' rock album. In fact, it's something even more surprising: a hot-blooded soul record from the queen of the even keel. In opener "Chasing Pirates," she rides a killer Wurlitzer lick by Roots/Erykah Badu sideman James Poyser, while "Back to Manhattan" describes Jones' breakup with boyfriend-bassist Lee Alexander over a slow-burn funk groove. Who knew ol' S'Norah had it in her?

I'm really digging new new sound!!! I think she's finally evolved into the musician that I saw her evolving years ago, after her first album. Would who have thought it would have taken her this long?! I didn't enjoy her last two albums, but this one seems to "hit the spot".

Apparently, one of the sound engineers off of Tom Waits' album, "Mule Vibrations" assisted in production of this album, which I think definitely helps shape her music into something a lot more "raw" and "edgy".

I like it.

She has an awesome, free performance on Soundcheck:

Check out the song, "Sinkin' Soon". It's my favorite.
