Norah Jones' 2002 debut album Come Away With Me won eight Grammys®, including album of the year, best new artist and best female pop vocal performance for Jones, and record of the year for the album's bluesy single, "Don't Know Why." The daughter of renowned Indian sitar (a plucked stringed instrument predominantly used in Hindustani classical music) player Ravi Shankar, her follow-up album, Feels Like Home, was released in February 2004 and in 2005 she shared a Grammy with the late Ray Charles for the duet "Here We Go Again." On her latest recording effort, The Fall, Jones has taken a new direction, experimenting with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse, among others. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partner Jesse Harris. King also helped Jones gather a new group of musicians to perform on the album, together achieving a sound that broadens Jones' diverse repertoire, while inadvertently enhancing the enigma of her public image.
