Music reviews of Feels Like Home (CD+DVD)
Music Review: Simply Brilliance...Worth the Extra Dollars
Rating: 5 Stars
"Feels Like Home," Norah Jones' follow-up to her Grammy-guzzling 2002 debut "Come Away With Me," should please fans and win her new ones.
The disc is similar to its predecessor, but it also takes notable strides in other directions. If you found yourself dozing off to Jones' music in the past, there's a far less chance of doing it here, as the new album is less dreamy and languid.
The first evidence that Jones and her band are turning things up a notch is the urgent "What Am I To You?" -- a Jones original that features electric guitar. A more subdued version of the song appeared on certain Asian versions of "Come Away With Me."
The disc's tempo picks up far more with "In the Morning," a catchy contribution from band member Adam Levy. Later, we get to the happy-go-lucky "Creepin In," which features an excellent guest appearance by Dolly Parton. This is a fun track, and it's easy to imagine the two artists dancing arm in arm down a country road.
The disc also contains a handful of tracks that would have fit splendidly with the more uniform "Come Away With Me." One such tune is the melodic "Those Sweet Words," which is a perfect showcase for Jones' vocal talent. The priceless "Carnival Town" drips with as much sugar and charm as "Sunrise," with its laid-back arrangements and ethereal harmony.
"The Prettiest Thing" will relax you with its warmth and simplicity, and "Don't Miss You at All," which finds Jones writing her own lyrics to Duke Ellington's "Melancholia," makes a perfect closer to the album.
What the listener gets with "Feels Like Home" is pure musical excellence. The hype of Jones and her "Handsome Band" of skilled musicians is justified all the more with this release.
To top that off, the live performances in Madrid of "In the Morning" and "Long Way Home" are absolutely superb, as the pair have proven time and time again in concert performances to translate particularly well live. "Creepin' In" is also excellent, and the music videos for "Sunrise" and "What Am I To You?" are as enjoyable to watch as the interview (of a very charming, self-conscious Jones) that rounds out the bonus DVD is informative.
Furthermore, while "Sleepless Nights" and "I Turned Your Picture To the Wall," a track penned by Levy's late grandfather, are two bonafide gems to add to the "Feels Like Home" CD, "Moon Song" is by far the superior of the trio. Invoking a sense of a picturesque landscape eclipsed by nightfall the powerful fluorescence of the moon, this track epitomizes what makes Jones and the Handsome Band such a special group of musicians.
Whether or not you loved "Come Away With Me," there's something for everyone here.

 Not Too Late |  Come Away With Me |  The Little Willies |
Norah Jones blew everybody away with her jazzy, country-tinged, Grammy-winning debut CD, Come Away with Me. On this recording, Jones doesn't mess with her trademark formula. Under Arif Mardin's cozy coproduction, Jones is supported by her writing partners, her Handsome Band, and some special guests (country legend Dolly Parton, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of the Band, and jazz drummer Brian Blade, to name a few). Jones's Texas-twanged vocals and her sparse acoustic and electric Wurlitzer piano lines enliven the CD's 13 tracks, from the light and lively single "Sunrise" to Tom Waits's "The Long Way Home" and the bouncy duet with Parton, "Creepin' In." Jones's soul-baring piano/vocal rendition of Duke Ellington's "Melancholia," retitled "Don't Miss You at All," proves she's a true Blue Note artist with unlimited potential. --Eugene Holley Jr.
