Product Description
Special Amazon exclusive version contains two extra tracks; “Cry, Cry, Cry” a classic Johnny Cash tune, and “Shanty”. While she’s released five studio albums, sold 40 million albums and won 9 grammys, Norah Jones can’t seem to get enough of changing things up! By our count, this is the 100th recording project with which she’s been involved in this short century, so it’s safe to say she’s a serial collaborator. And she kills ‘em all. Puss N Boots is no different: a trio of like-minded gals that finds Ms. Jones combining forces with pals Sasha Dobson - a fixture on the NYC singer songwriter scene and a frequent NoJo cohort - and Catherine Popper - a noted bass player who’s played with Ryan Adams, Jack White and Grace Potter - for a fun-filled female trio. Their album NO FOOLS, NO FUN is a combo of classic country tunes (Johnny Cash, George Jones covers) and roots rock pearls (Neil Young, The Band) with more recent alt-country faves (Wilco, Jeb Loy Nichols) and original songs from each of the members that all simmers together right nice for a proper musical stew.

Puss n Boots’ album is set to release on July 15 by Blue Note Records. The trio has been playing together since 2008, however this is the band’s first studio album.

According to a press release, the album No Fools, No Fun includes five original songs – two each from Dobson and Popper and one from Jones – and seven spirited cover tunes, all culled from Puss n Boots’ live repertoire. “

Puss n Boots is made up of Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson, and Catherine Popper. Norah Jones, vocalist, electric guitarist, and fiddle, has produced a number of solo albums. In 2003 Come Away With Me won Jones Grammys and became the number 10 best-selling album of the Soundscan era. Sasha Dobson who does vocals, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums for the band comes for a music background. Her entire family was involved in the music business when she was younger. Dobson has had her own success including her well received 2013 album, Aquarius and her opening act on the Willie Nelson tour. The final member, Catherine Popper takes care of vocals, bass, and acoustic guitar for the band. Popper will appear on Jack White’s 2014 release Lazaretto.

The album will be available for pre-order on June 17.

Me too.

Sasha Dobson's "Aquarius" was probably my favorite new release last year. I don't know anything about Catherine Popper, but Jones and Dobson=serious talent.

Bump: Added pre-order details to the first post. Amazon will be stocking an exclusive version with two bonus tracks.

That cover photo makes me feel like I just walked in on their slumber party.
