Feels Like Home

Released in 2004 as the highly anticipated follow-up to her diamond-certified debut, Feels Like Home saw Norah Jones expanding her sonic palette toward roots-oriented Americana. Recorded primarily with her touring band, the Handsome Band, the album emphasizes a collaborative, live-in-the-room feel. It notably features a collaboration with Dolly Parton on 'Creepin' In' and a cover of Townes Van Zandt's 'Be Here to Love Me,' cementing its country-folk credentials. Critics noted that while it maintained the 'Norah Jones sound,' it was a more textured and confident record than its predecessor, moving away from standard vocal jazz into a more personalized blend of blues, country, and soul. The album was a massive commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and winning a Grammy for the lead single 'Sunrise.' It remains a cornerstone of the early-2000s adult alternative movement.
