There's something about Norah Jones's new album (do we even call those silver discs albums, like the old LPs? What's an LP? Ask your mother) that is so comfortable, so warm and I can listen to her all day long. "Feels Like Home" is the followup to her last album which garnered her much attention and made her a household word (right up there with refrigerator.) The first track, "Sunrise," fills me with a Deja Vu image that yeah, I've been there before, who cares if the sun rose and set while we're together. Love so deep that you don't notice the world around you when you are together. Wow.

There's more: a bluesy rendition of "Humble Me,' and oh man, I can feel the pain and that place where God has tempered me long enough. And in contrast to the cuddly feeling of "Sunrise," "Don't Miss You At All' is a "so long and don't hit the door on the way out" tune that declares her independence after the break up of a relationship. And "Creepin' In" is a bluegrass train that will keep your feet tapping long after the song is over. I know you'll want to learn the words so you can harmonize with her too! Its a fun tune.

Norah will be on David Letterman on the 23rd of February, and in Canada on Canada AM (CTV) tomorrow the 17th. Buy the CD and be happy.
