I've been going to the Living Room for a while and I've always enjoyed the music, the atmosphere, the people, etc... One day I went there, unaware of who was playing, so I looked at the chalk board outside to see. It said Nora Jones. I had no idea who she was, so I thought, "well, I'll check it out." To my surprise, I saw one of my favorite artists, Jesse Harris of the Ferdinandos setting up with her, so I thought, this can't be bad. Then the music started and immediately I was in love. She had such an amazing voice the crowd just stopped, nobody was talking, nobody even moved. That night was something special, an experience that only happens once, until, Surprise, Surprise!!! I saw on ..., a CD that captured that night for me to experience again and again whenever I want. Along with Nora, there are other great performers on the CD like Rachel Loshak, Malcolm Holcolmbe, and my favorite Jesse Harris.

To set the record straight both Malcolm Holcombe and Jesse Harris have had major label releases. The reviewer who claimed this was a collection of local artists was totally off base . This CD is filled with inspired performances. and the Norah Jones track is just stunning. Malcom shines like a rusty diamond - if you like Tom Waits and John Prine you'll love his work. Jesse Harris wrote five songs on Norah's Blue Note release and is featured singing tracks from his new release. The other artists also offer a glimpse into what a night at the Living Room is like. Buy this collection.

WHAT A SOUND!! This CD sounds almost as new and fresh as being there.Norah Jones sounds live, indeed; not like most studio recordings. I've seen her at THE LIVINGROOM,so I know!! Jesse Harris also lays down some good tracks. OVERALL : An excellent and diverse selection of acoustic music. I'm looking forward to their next volume.

Neat to hear Norah before the hype.....I like this live version of Got To See You Again better than the studio one....I think her songwriter Jesse Harris is really good too...Totally worth my ten bucks.....

this CD was advertised as a nora jones CD it is not, she is only on the first song. I was disapointed.

Norah sings only one song on this CD. The rest is an assortment of apparently local artists of varying talent. If you want to hear Norah, save your ten bucks for her next release!
