Music reviews of Come Away with Me
Music Review: Simple and Honest
Rating: 5 Stars
In the late 1960s, sitarist Ravi Shankar took on pupil George Harrison and changed the face of music forever. It's no surprise, then, that Shankar's daughter, Norah Jones, is doing the same with her debut album "Come Away with Me". Released nearly a decade ago, the record still shines as bright as it did when it first came out.
Blues music had not really found a home on mainstream radio until 2002, when Jones released this album. The jazzy record quickly flew up the charts, thanks to her clear vocals and dazzling piano. But make no mistake; this is a simple record. Many songs feature just Jones and the piano, though a few have the more traditional drums and guitars. And the combination works.
My personal favorites from this record are no surprise; the jazzy 'Come Away with Me' is truly reminiscent of a lazy summer night with a gentle breeze and the one you love. 'One Flight Down' definitely has my favorite lyrics ('The reeds and brass have been weaving/Leading into a single note') and heralds back to a 1950s jazz club - you can almost imagine Louis Armstrong in the background. 'Shoot the Moon' is a simple tune that could be the soundtrack to a cross-country trip, while 'Turn Me On' is a sensual, piano-driven track that captures the easiness of love.
It's rare in the 21st century to have an album where you can simply listen to a great voice sing, but Norah Jones has accomplished that. Her record is truly a vocal masterpiece, full of songs that reach to your heart through their simplicity and honesty. And that's a rare quality, indeed.

It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross
