    If you like her, it's worth checking out her other collaborative ventures: Little Willies, Puss n Boots, and various duets.
    The Ray Charles tribute album she features on a few times with Willie Nelson is a good listen (Here We Go Again).
    I'm not such a fan of the Everly Brothers one she did with Billy Joe Armstrong but that's mostly because you can barely hear her for most of it.

    Anyway, I've sealed it and Amazon have just offered me a partial refund so fingers crossed it will be ok.

    One annoyance for us Hifi types though is that it seems to have been mastered with a rather warm and fuzzy balance to the sound - mid bass seems rather accentuated and Norah's voice is not as crystal clear as on the early albums. Odd because her previous recordings were (I thought) excellent quality.
    Ive a couple of her cd albums, and both sound good. I like her laid back style, and its a rich, relaxing voice. Not heard this one yet, and think I will await a new batch and a cheaper price lol.
    as Geoff says a little lacquer in lid and popped on with a bud or the like quickly will seal it

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    That doesnt surprise me Geoff. I wouldnt expect you to like her stuff Strange that I like female vocalists, as when younger I didnt. but as the title says, Zeppelin to Sinatra, shows a trend in my tastes over the years have changed....although the Zep was never really far away, and never will be.

    I do like female artists though Grant. Christine Collister. Natalie Merchant. Kate Bush (of course). Joni Mitchell. June Tabor. Patti Smith (brilliant!) and so many more.
