CD Reviews: Puss N Boots

Norah Jones you know.

Her bandmates are jazz singer-songwriter Sasha Dobson and session bass player and vocalist Catherine Popper, the three combining in a chummy country-folk outfit with its origins in low-key neighbourly jams.

This collection of covers, originals, live tracks and studio cuts reflects the ''we'll give anything a go'' attitude that brought the trio together and consequently it's a hit and miss affair, with Jones' reading of Wilco's Jesus, Etc and her own Don't Know What It Means the picks on an album otherwise marked by pleasing harmonies and a democratic sharing of lead vocal duties.

Puss N Boots. No Fools No Fun. Blue Note. 

•  Three stars out of five
