Nora York, Swoon (Good Mood Records)

The music of late, lauded singer-songwriter Nora York is celebrated on a new archival release.  York (1956-2016) was praised by The New York Times for her "bold mashups of jazz, rock, and other genres," and that boldness is vividly displayed on Swoon.  Produced by Jamie Lawrence, Swoon concentrates on her original material - including tracks written for musicals about Amelia Earhart and Sarah Bernhardt - with choice covers of Prince ("Nothing Compares 2 U") and Elvis Presley ("All Shook Up") in her distinctive, genre-bending style.  The album also features "The Hill," featuring Bruce Springsteen sideman Charlie Giordano on accordion.  Find out why Billboard said York stood "at the intersection of Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Jane Siberry, and Norah Jones" on this fascinating new release.
