Norah Jones’ The Fall, Lego Pirates, and More! *Giveaway*

Posted by 343 Comments

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Dddiva.  Congrats!
I have a new CD in my car.  It’s not The Wiggles or Curious George.  It’s a CD for me.  Surprise surprise!  One of my FAVORITE artists is Norah Jones.  And I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to review her latest CD, entitled The Fall.  Norah and I go way back (well, sort of).  When I was younger (and thinner and prettier), people used to say I look like her.  I don’t get that anymore.  I can’t imagine why.  But I digressed.

Norah’s new CD is just incredible.  If you know her and her music, then you know she’s got this jazzy, bluesy sort of approach to her music.  Her voice is just lovely and she cites Billie Holiday and Willie Nelson as early influences on her and her music (via Amazon.com).  Along with several upbeat, pop-like tracks, Norah collaborated with new songwriters and musicians to give this new album a bit of edge.  But if you’re like me, and appreciate her beautiful ballads, there is no shortage on this album.  Her music is about life and love…it’s authentic and sung from her soul.  My favorite songs include Waiting and You’ve Ruined Me.
You can watch her latest music video, Chasing Pirates, on her Hulu Channel:

Norah Jones will be on tour this spring (beginning in March).  Check out her site for a list of tour dates.  You can also keep up with her on Facebook.  Her CD The Fall retails for $15.00 and can be purchased directly from her site.

  233. I love the song, Waiting, on Norah’s new CD. I would have to pick the Lego Imperial Flagship if I were to win the Brickbeard’s Bounty. It comes complete with a pirates’ captain prisoner. 🙂 What better way to have a battle at sea? Of course, there is the Captain’s Daughter too.. so there could be a rescue of the damsel in distress. I love these sets. They give so much for kids to work their imaginations with.
