"The Fall" - Norah Jones.
Usually, this is not my type of music, but my interest was peaked when I learned that the album was produced by Jacquire King, who has worked with Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, and Kings of Leon.
Also, I liked the fact that many long time Norah fans disliked this album. I guess they wanted more of the same.
"Normal as Blueberry Pie" - Nellie McKay
Nellie's salute to Doris Day. Nellie is smart enough to know that she can't match Doris's clear-as-a-bell voice and that many of these song are definitely products of another time, they have an innocence that doesn't play well in a cynical world. Her phrasing and great production make this one of my favorites this year. Plus, there is not a "Que Sera Sera" in sight.
