Coffee be very nice: 
– Norah Jones at The We Love Green Festival -Sept. 13, 2012 –
One of the many things I love about the music of Norah Jones is that it fails repeatedly to be pigeon-holed into any specific genre. Mainstream Media have twisted themselves in knots, declaring Jones a Jazz Artist, a Country Artist, an Adult Contemporary Artist. Roots, Rock, Lo-fi – the gamut. Strange, Adult Contemporary sounds like what you hear above your head between shots of Novocaine at the Dentists office.
I would probably vote for something like Contemporary Ethereal, but even then it would pigeon-hole. And the fact that Norah Jones embraces all of it makes it refreshing and signifies to me that what she’s all about is music that is good, regardless of what you label it.
And that’s the whole deal in a nutshell.
So with all that in mind, here is a wonderful concert she did with her band The Willies at the 2012 We Love Green Festival in Paris and recorded by the ever-amazing and non-pigeon holed FIP from Radio France.
Get ready for Monday and turn this one up.
If you’ve spent any time poking around social media and visiting websites the one thing that may hit you is how unique Past Daily actually is. It’s music you may not be familiar with or have forgotten about – it’s history without turning it into an “eat your vegetables” exercise – it’s people from the past; iconic and notorious who you may have read about or heard about but never actually heard what they had to say. It’s the occasional odd observation on life and living the day-to-day which may prompt you to nod or wince. One thing Past Daily is not is boring. The world is in a constant state of change and it’s good to be reminded that, very often, we’ve been on this road before and have experienced the same results.
