Norah Jones CD Not Too Late Available Jan. 30

The singer and songwriter will offer all-new original songs on Not Too Late.


Eight-time Grammy winner Norah Jones’ new album, Not Too Late, will be her first to include all original songs. It will be released on Jan. 30.

In addition, for the first time ever, all of the songs are either written or co-written by Norah, who sings and plays piano and guitar. The CD, Norah’s third solo effort for Blue Note, follows her 2002 debut Come Away With Me and 2004’s Feels Like Home. Jones says that Not Too Late, produced by her boyfriend and bandmember/bassist Lee Alexander in his home studio in New York, is more personal than her previous efforts since she had a hand in composing all of the CD’s songs.

The CD features guitarists Adam Levy and Jesse Harris, keyboardist Larry Goldings, drummer Andy Borger, saxophonist Bill McHenry, vocalist and flutist Daru Oda, cellist Julia Kent and cellist Jeff Zeigler of the classical-jazz group Kronos Quartet. Song titles are the title track, “Until the End,” “Rosie’s Lullaby,” "Be My Somebody," "Sinkin' Soon," “Thinking About You,” “Little Room,” “The Broken,” “Wake Up,” “Wish I Could,” "My Dear Country" and "The Sun Doesn't Like You."

Thank you for the information joebugs. I first took notice of Norah Jones when I read that article which was done on her in ICE just before Come Away With Me came out. There was something about how her music was being described which hit me just the right way. I went and picked up the album and I've never looked back since.

Can't wait!! If the rest of the album is like the song I've been hearing on XM Radio, it should be great.

A deluxe CD/DVD version is also being released with a different cover. I don't know if there are extra tracks or what are the contents of the DVD but I will opt for this version.

Amazon USA has a a video of Rosie's Lullaby on their website. Its a beautiful slow song.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KRN07S?tag ... 2Q3XWBVZS&

Deluxe DVD content includes:

1. "Thinking About You" (Music Video)

2. "Until The End" (Music Video)

3. "Sinkin' Soon" (Music Video)

4. Interview with Norah

5. "Thinking About You" (behind the scenes at the video shoot)

6. "Sinkin' Soon" (behind the scenes at the video shoot)

PLUS two live bonus tracks from Rehearsals.com filmed in Burbank, CA, in November 2006.

I like the Deluxe edition cover. Almost a Tim Burton-esque type illustration. Shows that little Norah has a sense of humor.

I took care of the pre-order for the Deluxe Edition yesterday. I'm looking forward to this album.

For those who care about such things, a jewel case version of the album packaging has started to turn up. Same UPC number as the digipak.
