I've had this CD on my wish list for a long time, ever since I heard Don't Know Why on the radio for the first time (and after Nora won all those Grammy awards, of course!). I'm glad I finally got the CD, but I have mixed feelings about it. First, let me say that the music is top-notch - all of the performance is phenomenal, and I love the understated production. I also really appreciate the cover of Nina Simone's Turn Me On, which is great. My only problem with the CD is that it's just so mellow - I like a little more variety in an album. The entire CD is great for having a drink and relaxing in the evening, but it would totally put me to sleep in the car - I love music that's good for driving, but this isn't it. So, this is one incredible album, but I can only listen to it during certain moods.Labels: cds
