Amazon.co.uk Review
Though pundits predicted a change of direction for the third Norah Jones album, fans of earlier works will be pleased to learn that Not Too Late maintains the chanteuse's subtle mantra of tasteful, insouciant songs tinged with jazz, folk, country and blues. The album differs in that the majority of tracks this time around were written by Norah herself (and long-term collaborator Lee Alexander); that said, musical support comes from her regular coterie (guitarist Jesse Harris, drummer Andy Borger and singer Daru Oda amongst others), as well as esteemed guests such as Kronos Quartet cellist Jeff Ziegler, Larry Goldings and singer-songwriter M Ward. Patient, simple ballads, calm jazz/folk chords and quiet instrumental embellishments are still what Norah does best and there are plenty here, enhanced of course by her timeless, honeyed vocals. With the notable exception of the idiosyncratic, politically-charged waltz "Sinkin' Soon" (featuring vocals from M. Ward), Not Too Late lopes along with typical restraint and candour, making for another collection of soothing, weightless tunes. --Paul Sullivan

Customer Reviews

PURE SOUL AND BLUES!!! NORAH, YOU DID IT GREAT!!
If you love these "black" rhythms (soul, blues, country), you will enjoy this cd; this album is very delightful, sensitive, beautiful, introspective... and personal; you can hear this album in a midnight show, with candle lights, with somebody who's in love with you in a romantic place inside and the effect will be magic... Pure "Plastic Soul, Man" (as Paul McCartney said on "Beatles Anthology 2"), I bought this album and I listened it many times without get bored... It's symply marvelous, a wonderful piece of Norah's work.
Enjoy the piano, enjoy the acoustic guitars, enjoy the drums, enjoy Norah's voice...ENJOY ALL!!!

Jones' got the songs
Norah jones album `Not too late' was her last album before filming `My Blueberry Nights'. Jones' voice on `Not my friend' comes across crisp and floorless and reminds me of a similar vocal sang by jazz singer Alison Burns.

I hope it's not too late!
This review is quite some time after the release of this CD, so there is time to collect evidence as well as my own opinion. Why do you not hear this on the radio, in bars etc like you did the previous CDs. Because it isn't as good!
The move towards a country jazz style hasn't really worked. It comes out as a sort of "Leon Redbone meets Dolly Parton". It's all pleasant enough and unlikely to distract from conversation at the dinner table. Norah's voice is attractive and the production very polished. None of the songs is likely to go round and round in your head like "Sunrise" did. After such a long wait it is frankly a disappointment.
