Rabbit Loves : Norah Jones
7:10 AM ....................... Norah Jones (born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar on March 30, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and occasional actress. Jones's career was launched with her massively successful 2002 debut album Come Away with Me, a contemporary pop album with a sensual, plaintive soul/folk/country tinge, that sold 20 million copies worldwide and received eight Grammy Awards, including Jones's award as Best New Artist. Jones's second album, Feels like Home, was released in 2004 to high sales. In 2006 she released an album as part of the country band The Little Willies. Norah Jones was born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar in New York City, New York, but later changed her name officially to Norah Jones at age 16. She is the daughter of the Indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar and Sue Jones, and is the half-sister of musician Anoushka Shankar, Ravi Shankar's daughter from his second marriage. She spent her childhood with her mother, who moved to Dallas, Texas, when Norah was four. She has always liked the music of Bill Evans and Billie Holiday among others from the 'oldies' section. Norah has had a profound appreciation for the music and finds it intriguing and relieving. She has been quoted as saying, "My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set, I picked out one disc that I liked and played that over and over again; 'You Go to My Head', that was my favorite..." Jones began singing in church choirs, taking piano lessons, and even briefly trying out the alto saxophone. She attended Interlochen Arts Camp, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas, and the University of North Texas, where she majored in jazz piano, and won Best Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist twice, in 1996 and 1997 and Best Original Composition 1996 .In 1999, two years into the program, Norah left for New York City. ....................... Norah Jones has won multiple awards, most noticeably her Grammy Awards These are Jones' Grammy Awards: 2003 "Best Pop Vocal Album" - Come Away with Me 2003 "Album of the Year" - Come Away with Me 2003 "Record of the Year" - "Don't Know Why" 2003 "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" - "Don't Know Why" 2003 "Best New Artist" 2005 "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" - "Here We Go Again" (with Ray Charles) 2005 "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" - "Sunrise" 2005 "Record of the Year" - "Here We Go Again" (with Ray Charles) She is sticking out her cute tongue!!! ....................... 2007 Not Too Late Street Date Jan 30, 2007 1.

Don't Miss You At All DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM After hearing Norah Jones' debut album, the 8 times platinum, Come Away With Me, I never thought that I would hear another album quite as spectacular as that. But, with her sophmore album, Norah hs proved us wrong - big time! Feels Like Home, beautifully blends the sweet sounds of Jazz, with the melodic sounds of Country - all gently packed up into a perfectly harmonized sound that Norah Jones can truly call her own. The style is a breath of fresh air in a very stale world of music. Norah Jones has managed to stick her neck out above the rest to give herself some fresh breathing room. At the pace things are going, and at such a young age, Norah Jones will surely continue breaking new ground, and releasing amazing albums, such as this latest offering. The greatest thing about Norah's music is that it isn't "over done." Norah gives up simply enough to keep us coming back and wanting more. To date, Feels Like Home as sold 4 million records. Can't wait for the next album... ....................... 2003 Come Away With Me Street Date Nov 17, 2003 1. Don't Know Why - (studio) 2. Seven Years - (studio) 3. Cold Cold Heart - (studio) 4.

They soon discovered that they had a shared love of country music despite hailing from all over the US. This shared respect & love of the music progressed to further live shows and then onto writing original songs within a similar vein which culminated in this recording. Released on Milking Bull Records, this album includes tracks written by Willie Nelson, Hank Williams and Kris Kristofferson set alongside original compositions from the band themselves.
