Norah Jones - The Fall (Blue Note)

Norah Jones experiments with a more indie rock sound for her fourth album, departing from the lite-rock/jazzy sound that propelled her to fame after her 2002 debut, "Come Away With Me."

Songwriting collaborators for the album included Ryan Adams, Okkervil River's Will Sheff and Tom Waits/Elvis Costello collaborator Marc Ribot.

Jones has impeccable musical taste and the talent to match, which makes any new venture of hers worth checking out.
