Cold Cold Heart - Hank Williams

Advantages: Different, original sound
Disadvantages: Not for getting ready for a lively night out

...from the American Grammy Awards in 2003 with no less than 8 awards including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best new Artist. Overview of the Album There are 14 songs on this album and each and every one of them is worth listening too. Don't Know Why, the first single off the album and most likely the song most will think of when thinking of Norah Jones is an introduction to the mellow and sultry tones of Norah Jones. While this is a brilliant song, it is not my favourite. She does an amazing rendition of Hank William's Cold, Cold Heart. She doesn't try to sing it like Hank Williams which is great, but gives it her own stamp of identity. The Nearness of you, another cover comes close to being my favourite with its lazy soulful and yet delicate sound. However, my favourite song on the album is without a doubt "I've got to see...

Advantages: Having insomnia problems. She will put you to sleep
Disadvantages: Sometimes sleep is not all that much of a good thing. Especially on a bike going at 150 mph

...of being a song of innocence. It’s about a little girl who is singing and dancing to her favourite song. It is penned by Norah's fiancé Lee so it is easy to assume that this is either a memory of his about a little girl who he saw singing a song, or it is a memory of Norah's that she shared with him and they have made a song out of it. Either way this doesn’t matter. This song is not a song you are meant to hold to memory. It is in a way like the little girl. Innocent, Singing to her favourite song and oblivious to the trials and dangers of the world. There will always be a little girl like to the one depicted in this song. Just like after you here this it will always be with you. It is a simple song with no real meaning. It will always be in some recess of your mind waiting to be brought up again. Cold cold heart. {Hank Williams} It... Read review

Advantages: It's mellow and easy to listen to and Norah Jones has a fantastic vioce.
Disadvantages: Not enough of it.

...with regret but not sadness. Beautiful, clear singing and piano playing from Norah. My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Track 2-'Seven Years' (Lee Alexander) 2.24 Very bluesy song with deep guitar sounds. It's a sad song but I’m not sure why, it just quite sorrowful. Lovely guitar playing from Kevin Breit and there’s some nice percussion as well if you can spot it! Again Norah is flawless in her singing. Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favourite song A little girl with nothing wrong Is all alone Track 3-'Cold Cold Heart’ (Hank Williams) 3.38 A cover I do believe but she certainly has made it her own and its one of my favourite tracks. Jazzy and upbeat, the bass in this song is great and blends with the piano very well- it just makes you want to click your fingers and tap your toes! A memory... Read review
