    Love it.

    I gave my wife three choices for a girls name with our baby girl.

    Billie
    Ella
    Norah

    She chose Norah, but dropped the 'h'.

    Well, I bought it. Listened to it....fell asleep. That tell you anything?

    Very ho-hum album before I dozed off. Perhaps when I give it another spin, I'll have a different impression.

    Why do you think hotels have the piano lounge players in the evening...

    ....Because they don't want people like us running around room to room late in the evenings jamming out :|:o>:)B)B)B)

    I'm a fan of DK, but want to be a bigger one. I'm ready to pounce all over anything she does, but the covers situation bothers me.

    Wildflowers turned me off and TUTQ while decently executed, was a big disappointment.

    I listened again today and it doesn't do her justice. Feels like a waste of her talent.

    At least Glad Rag Doll has her branching out into different styles vocally. I absolutely love her voice, but personally think she needs to push the envelope further than some boring standards (and I love standards) to fully reach her potential.

    One thing I did notice on the listening session last night is that for the first 5 or 6 songs (wasn't really counting), I was disappointed in the audio quality. Then on the next song, it came to life and I was thinking, "That's more like it!".

    It's sad that so many songs were sub par IMO. Nothing to the likes of an Adele album but things didn't seem real.

    I did not like this one a lot at first either. Even after a few listens, I think I just felt it was off or not quite right,,,,,,

    But then one morning drinking coffee I was in an odd mood and tried it.
    Something just grabbed me, and it sounded totally different.

    Audio wise now I love it, and song wise, love most of the songs.
    Not saying it will work on you, but oddly it grows on some people.
    Give it a few chances.

    "Wallflower" sadly never sounded better to me...blah!
