Norah Jones’ 2002 debut album "Come Away With Me" is to be reissued for its 20th anniversary, in April. The album’s blend of jazz, blues, country, folk and pop, had an enormous appeal and "Come Away With Me" has, to date, sold nearly 30 million copies, and has garnered multiple awards, including 8 Grammys.
It will be reissued as 2 multi disc deluxe editions, a 3 CD set and a 4 LP vinyl set, that offer the following content. New remaster of "Come Away With Me". 22 unreleased tracks, demos, session outtakes, alternate versions and mixes. Norah’s earliest demos, the tracks that got Blue Note’s attention, and the demos she recorded for the label, some of which were released on the promo only EP "First Sessions". The full previously unreleased original version of the album, including 11 unreleased cuts, produced by Craig Street and now newly mixed by Tony Maserati, with alternate versions of well known tracks and unheard performances.
Both deluxe versions offer premium packaging with an extensive booklet featuring new liner notes by Norah, rare session photos and detailed track annotations. There will also be single LP and single CD editions of the album and "The Demos", "First Sessions EP" and the "Allaire Sessions" have all been mixed to Dolby Atmos, although there appears to be no physical edition, so this will be for streaming only.
"Come Away With Me" is reissued on April 29th, 2022, via Blue Note Records and Universal Music.
