Review - Nora Jones "Featuring"

I love music. But, don't try to tie me down to one type. Depending on my mood I might prefer pop, classical, alternative or even a bit of country. So, when I was given the opportunity to review Norah Jones' new album, full of collaborations and duets from jazz to country, hip hop to rock, I jumped at the chance.

When the CD arrived I couldn't wait to hear it. After reading the list of artists on this album, from music legends like Ray Charles to current stars like Foo Fighters, I just couldn't wait to see how all these artists could be on the same album. I mean, could you?

This may be the perfect CD for any mood. I quickly recognized the song "Baby It's Cold Outside: with Willie Nelson. This song will be featured in my home over the holidays. Several other songs caught my attention too. "Here We Go Again" with Ray Charles is also a fabulous song. Just check out this impressive list of songs and artists.
