The Little Willies (featuring Norah Jones) 2006 EAC FLAC torrent

Quote:

This is what happens when a group of good friends who are also outstanding musicians and songwriters decides to made the music they like, the way they like to perform it, without bowing to industry trends and fashion. The Little Willies has been a fill-in project for members when they’re between tours and bookings, one where they can lay back and play whatever they want to. It’s great music, and you can hear how much they enjoy playing it.

This CD is both polished and raw at the same time. It feels like a live performance but the quality of the sound tells me it was done in a really great studio. It has a spontaneous feel and sound to it. Mostly, it sounds like all concerned are just having great fun and it is contagious! I was trying to "Dupe it" to carry a copy in my car (actually my truck) and there must be some sort of copy guard system on it because I couldn't dupe it. No matter, I'll just transfer it from the house to the truck. Nora's soulful, relaxed vocals and minimalist piano work great on this album. It seems that with her, it is about the song, not about "look how good I am." All the other players on the ablum are the same caliber as Nora too. What a great group!

I will love her forever for being true to the music and her craft and not engaging into the showcasing of her ego. As I say that I recognize that she is a goddess among most mere mortals and her talent is equal to her beauty. Her humility floors me. She should be declared a National Treasure up there with artists like Stevie Wonder, Aretha, the late Johnny Cash, James Taylor, Carole King, and of course, Willie.
