Norah Jones has the unenviable task of following up a smash debut album, Come Away With Me, that hit number one (and still is in the top twenty-five after almost two years on the charts), sold eight million copies and won the big three at the Grammys, Record, Album & Song of the year. With her new release, Feels Like Home, Ms. Jones doesn't stray too far from the formula of her first album. Feels Like Home also mixes jazz, country, folk and blues, but Ms. Jones sounds more confident and mature. The song that really shows this off is "What Am I To You?", which is her only solo composition on the album. The song has a riff that grabs you right away and Ms. Jones applies a breathy vocal that rises as she reaches the chorus. She dives into 70's singer-songwriter terrain on "Toes" & "Carnival Town" that recall another woman with the same last name, Rickie Lee Jones. Ms. Jones gets Dolly Parton to provide guest vocals on "Creepin' In" which gets into bluegrass territory. The album closes out with "Don't Miss You At All" which is Duke Ellington's "Melancholia" that Ms. Jones added lyrics. Feels Like Home will probably not match the commercial success of its predecessor, but it shows that Ms. Jones is growing as a truly distictive artist who feels at home in various and distinct musical styles. ~ Thomas Magnum
