    When singer Norah Jones dropped her much-beloved debut album in 2002, she won over legions of fans with her soul-soothing croon and blend of jazzy pop and bluesyan inspired and often moody collection of songs she wrote and recorded with a number of collaborators, including Jeff Tweedy and Thomas Bartlett.
