“BY FAR HER BEST” SAYS THE WASHINGTON POST
 
After she appeared yesterday on NBC’s Today Show, and NPR’s Morning Edition, Norah Jones latest - and according to several critics, greatest - album ‘Not Too Late’ arrives in stores and online today via Blue Note Records.  ‘Not Too Late’ features thirteen new songs, all written or co-written by Jones.  The album was produced by Jones’ bassist and songwriting partner Lee Alexander, and was recorded mostly in Jones and Alexander’s home studio.

“You thought you knew Norah Jones, didn’t you?  On her foreboding and magnificently moody new album, ‘Not Too Late,’ Jones tackles not just matters of the heart, but matters of the state as well.  This is a confident outing, by far her best, and an album where she stretches mightily without trying to reinvent herself unnecessarily.”
