Norah Jones - Everybody Knows - Non-Album Tracks (2014-2016)

Norah Jones continues to be very busy with her home concerts, playing a mini-concert of four songs once a week pretty much without fail. I still have lots more of that to post. But I've been so busy posting home concerts that I've fallen behind with posting stray tracks collections from her. So here's the next one of those.

I think all the songs here are covers. This time around, she does a lot of famous songs by famous artists. For instance, she does two songs by George Harrison of the Beatles ("Behind that Locked Door" and "Something"), one song by Neil Young ("Down by the River"), a song by the Beach Boys ("God Only Knows"), a song by the Grateful Dead ("It Must Have Been the Roses"), and a song by Leonard Cohen ("Everybody Knows").

The sound quality is mostly excellent, but a couple are a bit rougher. Most of the songs are officially released and come from various artists compilations, or appearances on other artists' albums. But five of the songs are unreleased, and four of those come from concert bootlegs. It's a couple of the concert performances that are a bit rougher, especially "God Only Knows" and "Everybody Knows." But those are such great songs, and great performances, that I had to include them.

This album is 41 minutes long.
