Review: I admit I have never been a big Norah Jones fan, but I ADORE this cd! It is the perfect cd for date night at home, for driving, for crafting by, for blogging by (LOL), to clean the house by, you get the idea! The tracks are just so wonderful, you will find yourself singing along and not even realizing it half the time!
Now ya'll KNOW how much I adore Vanessa Williams' Christmas music, but I will admit the Norah's Baby It's Cold Outside with Willie Nelson (!!) is a pretty close arrangement, and if I wasn't permanently attached to Williams', Norah's would be THE best version! Norah and Dolly? ROCK IT! Seriously, the song showcases both of them beyond wonderfully- watch the clip below! My Dad adored Linda Ronstadt, so I can not even begin to tell you HOW many times I have listened to Blue Bayou in my life, but I gotta admit, I love the arrangement here, possibly even better than the original (yes, I know, the horror- LOL).
Bull Rider and Ruler of My Heart are stunning arrangements, as all of these songs are really! THIS is the cd you want to give this Christmas to anyone you know- MAKE them listen to it and I guarantee, they'll love it too!
