1. I dig her sister's music
I like Nora Jones a bit too, but her sister is an amazing sitar player.

2. she played on "Concert for George"

Yes, I dig Norah too. I really do. A lot of people think she's shit, but there's something about her stuff that vibes with me. Can't explain it.

12. Well, Like sundog says
She played in the concert for George. That's where I heard most of her stuff. I have some of their father's cd's too (Ravi Shankar). I was just blown away by her performance in the CFG thing. She plays and directs an Indian band and it is about 25 minutes long.

3. I love her ...
She mellows me out when I need a good mellowin'. Have you heard Nightingale on Live from Bonnaroo? It's amazing.

4. Ever heard her stuff with Wax Poetic?
She got her start with them and recently recorded a couple tunes on their latest album. Cool stuff.

13. Wax Poetic
I see I have a lot of old/new {to me} music to catch up on.

I've never heard of "Wax Poetic"

14. How do you like Cold Cold Heart?
She did that one on the "Come Away With Me" CD.

The long way home is sometimes the best way to go when you've got good tunes to listen to.

16. I liked 'Come Away With Me', but "Feels Like Home" is phenomenal...
Her music matured, she sounds great, great songwriting...

There's a tune on there called "The Long Way Home"...it's my fave.

6. I think that dismissing her as milquetoast is a mistake.
She played for us in the office before her record came out, and she blew me away.

7. My 2.5 year old is sitting on my lap this moment...
as we listen to "Don't Know Why".

For her it's the "wetter Y song" because Nora does a bit on Sesame Street where the lyrics are modified to "don't know why 'Y' didn't come" where she laments her inability to spell certain words because her friend, the letter "y", didn't show up.

18. Sesame Street
I'm not surprised. Norah has a very sweet look about her. I can understand "Y" your daughter loves her.
