About this product
What a ride it's been for Norah Jones since that night in March 2002, when she revealed her rich, seductive tones performing in a cramped room above an Indian restaurant in downtown Austin at a South by Southwest showcase. A few months later she recorded her first Austin City Limits. Now, after five years, many millions of CDs sold, a shelf full of Grammy awards, and worldwide acclaim, Norah returns to ACL as one of the most successful and respected recording artists of the decade. This performance from June 14, 2007, includes some of those now classics that captivated an audience longing for heartfelt music. It also highlights her growth as a serious songwriter on her third CD, Not Too Late. One thing that hasn't changed is her passion for all kinds of musical styles, which probably has a lot to do with growing up in Texas and now living in the heart of New York City. Touches of smoky jazz, country twang, Memphis soul and old-fashioned Tin Pan Alley permeate her original songs as well as her choice of other songwriters' material. Watching her on the ACL stage is the next best thing to having her sitting at a piano in your living room. She and her longtime band mates venture into some new musical territory, but at the center of it all is that voice, that voice that has touched millions around the world.

This PBS broadcast, shot July 7, 2001, includes 16 tracks.
From the vaults of the award-winning PBS Austin City Limits TV show, this is the latest in the acclaimed Live from Austin TX series. Jerry Lee almost never made it to Austin City Limits. He cancelled one appearance, and only weeks before this recording on October 17, 1983, his wife died in a freak swimming pool accident at their home. But he did make it, and what we have here is one of the most amazing performances ever to go down on the ACL stage. This DVD was recorded in 5.1 surround sound and captures all the hits and more, and includes songs that were never aired on the original TV broadcast.
Performing tacks from her critically-acclaimed solo , PLACE TO BE, the pianist-composer chronicles the almost mystical exchange between performer and audience on her new DVD, recorded live at the Blue Note in New York City. This DVD is 98-minutes in length and contains 23-minutes of bonus material, which documents Hiromis travels around the world and inspired some of the album, PLACE TO BE.
