Norah Jones - Dear Darling - Non-Album Tracks (2010-2011)

By this point, I should have some boilerplate text to add to the start of each of my Norah Jones. If I did, it would basically be this: don't write her off because of the songs from her albums. She has a much more interesting second career with her stray tracks, which are more diverse and involve collaborations with many other talented artists.

This album is a case in point. By this point in her career, she had so many stray tracks that I can pretty much make one full album for each calendar year. That's more music per year than what she puts on her studio albums, which only come out once every three or so years. A majority of the songs here are collaborations, as you can see from the song credits.

Six out of the 13 songs here are officially unreleased. They all come from concert bootlegs. But the sound quality of those four are just fine.

There's nothing wrong with the two bonus tracks, except their sound quality isn't as good as the rest.

This album is 41 minutes long.
