Norah's New Album-Is it Any Good?

Is it like her debut album or is it different(like I'm hoping)? Is it worthy?

The debut, ony with more country influences. If you loved Come Away With Me, you'll love a second helping is the general consensus.

I hated the first one, so I passed on this one. She's like the ultimate cure for insomnia.

The reason I'm asking this is, I heard that its MORE Jazz-oriented this time around(last time it was more folk/country oriented even tho there're some jazz moments).

I also heard she did a Duke Ellington tribute? eek Thats tuff, how did it turn out?

She covered Duke's "Melancholia", but retitled it "Don't Miss You At All". It's not bad at all, but then I'm not a Norah fan in the least.

This effort sounds more country-influenced to me, but people mistook Come Away With Me for true jazz (weren't people going nuts over the last one because she was going to "redefine" the jazz world or some such ludicrous all-encompassing statement).
