TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sonics in the January 2011 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
Besides selling 40 million albums and winning 9 Grammy awards in less than 10 years, over the years Norah Jones has collaborated with dozens and dozens of artists from across the spectrum of music. This album collects Norahs favorite collaborations from 2001-2010 into one amazing collection: legends like Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Herbie Hancock, rock artists ranging from Foo Fighters to Ryan Adams to Belle and Sebastian, hip hop luminaries Outkast, Q-Tip and Talib Kweli. No matter the genre however, Norahs enchanting voice is the common denominator and while the partners are varied, she ends up owning every song and this album is a wonderful collection that holds together brilliantly. The album is a testament to Norahs status as one of the most in-demand and tasteful musical connectors in music. This album will be an amazing gift item for any Norah fan.
«…Others [Songs], especially the slow ballads – with Ray Charles («Here We Go Again»), Willie Nelson («Baby It’s Cold Outside»), the Little Willies («Love Me»), the Foo Fighters (the samba ballad «Virginia Moon»), Herbie Hancock («Court & Spark»), Ryan Adams («Dear John»), and M. Ward («Blue Bayou») – rank among Jones’ best material.» – Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, January 2011
«Over and again, Jones caresses these assorted jazz, R&B, and country ballads with her silky voice and intimate delivery.» – Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, January 2011
