Norah Jones - Home Concerts 13, New York City, 10-22-2020 to 11-5-2020

Here's another in a long line of Norah Jones home concert albums. I waited a little bit to see how things would shake out for the next album or two. She has slowed down a lot, for the first time, for the Christmas holidays. But she's promised to post more in the new year.

Hopefully by now I don't need to explain much. If you've listened to any of the previous home concerts in this series, you should know the drill. This is about 45 minutes of her playing songs solo from her home in her unique style.

Perhaps the most notable thing about this particular album is the cover. This is a compilation of three performances of four songs each. (I didn't include any songs that she played in previous home concerts, and I think there was one or two of those here.) The middle performance took place very close to Halloween. So for that she dressed up in a Halloween costume, as the Hamburglar from the McDonalds fast food chain. Note also in the back two kids in their own costumes. I'm assuming those are her kids. They came out and danced around for one of the songs.

I discussed the album cover above. It comes from a screenshot I took. I couldn't find an ideal screenshot clearly featuring both children. But you can see the head of one (in an alien mask) on one side of her, and part of the body of the other one on her other side.
