You see, there it is.
I'm a closet Norah Jones fan, she's just so sweet, and I was listening to her version of Cold, Cold Heart, and then I remembered your comment and others, and I thought "let's go see the original", which I did, and I'm sorry but I only like one of 'em, and it ain't Hank.
That's not because he's no good, that's because I plain don't like country. Don't like the chuck chews and the dull rhythm and the scoopy note sequences. Very by the numbers music. Whereas give me a soft shuffle, an incidental piano and a boozy bass note, like Norah brought, and I'm yours. Personal taste, I suppose. Have a pick...
hank
norah
I bloody well hope you didn't listen to the original via youtube.
Perhaps you and I have different musical tastes.....I have to admit while I wouldn't go out of my way to hurt, maim or injure Norah Jones, if she was standing in the middle of the road I wouldn't swerve.
Let's see, a musical, MOR lightweight with zero artistic integrity compared to a genre defining artist whose searing brilliance has influenced thousands of others.
It is over 50 years since Hank Williams death and people are still covering his songs......including Norah Jones. If anyone is covering Norah Jones five years after her death, whether she is run over or not, I will be extremely surprised
At least she has some taste in music.
