It may be too mellow for some tastes,but Norah Jones Come Away With Me is still an excellent debut album with a comforting,pleasing mixture of jazz,country,and folk pop with Norah soft,husky voice on top.The 5.1 surround sound is a mixed bag though;the bass is missing on some tracks(namely "Cold ... more
