The Fall / Norah Jones

On The Fall, Norah Jones' fourth album, she experimented with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including noted producer and engineer Jacquire King, who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse. Richly detailed and vocally lush, the album may surprise some of Jones' die-hard fans. She ditches the gentle piano playing of her previous work and tears into fresh, beat-savvy arrangements, playing plenty of electric guitar and exploring the piercing quality of Wurlitzer electric piano. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partners Jesse Harris and Richard Julian. Musicians include drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green) and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer).
