  • would love to see norah jones collaborate with james taylor ...

  • Great cover of a great song

  • i need to have richard julian's kids D:

  • Who is the Guy playing lead Guitar? He quite sexy and good!!

  • like like like so much! thanks for sharing :)

  • We used to do this song. We still do, but we used to as well.

  • This is the fucking best ever.............

  • This guy actually reminds me of Lyle Lovett

  • mojogypsy you have no manners nor do you express yourself well. john prine woul probably kick your ass for being such an ass.

  • @mommama100 Hey, I think you are attacking the wrong person man. "Mojogypsy" was just commenting that the video is, to quote, " Very nice!" You should be insulting "Hellokitteh" for his rude and hateful comments about good music. Just trying to be fair

  • Very nice!

  • who the fuck is this faggot singing? such awful inflection and composure that it hurts. ol' johnny prine will surely roll over in his grave once that horrible horrible day lays upon one of the greatest songwriters to ever live. THANKS FOR RUINING A PERFECT SONG YOU FUCKING AWFUL INTERRUPTERS

  • @hullokitteh Wow! Somebody sure got his panties in a knot!

    Don't like it? Move on, and leave others in peace. Don't need your judgement.

  • @hullokitteh Trollololololololol

  • This is the best video on you tube. Thank' s to John Prine ,Norah Jones and the two musicans

  • beautiful cover, great harmony, but her smile right before the end is priceless. nothing like watching a great artist having fun while performing.

  • WOW!!!! John Prine I knew But typing in cover it came up with this this is amazing!

  • @larrypetree - The only repulsive thing here is your dumbass comment. If you don't like the music why click the link?

  • I love this as much as John Prine's version!

  • Great guitar players!

  • I'd help Norah out of the ice if tthe sun didn't come thru.

  • great video thanks for the view shes got a fantstic voice thy are good together thanks MrToeKnee641

  • Beats me,do know I think hes writing back to himself It fits.

  • Your first response had some meaning. This last one, and it IS the last for me, misquotes my statements, is churlish and infantile, and pointless.

    Your words suggest anger that your critical knowledge is threatened by being unable to converse with someone who shows no malice in return.

    So, momentarily (and with finality), I'll say something at your level.

    You have no wit and are afraid of failing in issues that don't matter.

    Now, musical teabagger, go away and develop a critical sense.

  • She can sing but she has no idea in hell what she's singing. One of Prine's best lines is jerked into trite cliche blues, missing the poetry. Line: Naked as the eyes of a clown. Sing it straight so it hits you. All and all, lousy folk music.

  • @eccles2222 What the hell are you talking about .Your saying Norah does not put feeling in her performance

    I just dont know where your coming from. Its like saying an actor cannot produce a convincing performance unless they have experienced it. I think one of norahs ability is to be able to put deep feeling in what she sings

    she does not have to have gone through it herself. Its called entertainment. And she is great.

  • @ianwalkerdownland

    She looks good, sings ok, and emotes without purpose, save manner. If you're a fan you'll overlook this and defend her, as you have. If you don't know her from Adam and can be objective, her "reading" is purile.

  • is there anywhere i can get this with just her singing????

  • Nora Jones I look at her like a hungry fat guy looks at a pizza. mmmmm mmmmm

  • Those guitars sound awful, not the way they play, but the way they are amplified.

  • Those guitars sound awful

  • Norah is not just a fantastic singer/performer she just oozes charm.Great performance by all three artists

  • perfect balance

  • Norah Jones = The voice

  • i get the chills when Miss Jones sings the part about the "naked eyes of a clown"

  • @nineadamsrecords Love your comment . . . Miss Jones . . . what a fucking honey!

  • @nineadamsrecords thanks mclin.

  • This is how the life goes! (and it is round for sure). Cool THXXX!

  • great cover

  • larrypetree - Are you deaf or just completely ignorant? Norah Jones is one the of finest singers to ever sing a song. And the guitar style of the "dude in the hat" is perfectly fitting for a John Prime composition.

  • To: Matty6983. The male singer didn't really screw up the lyrics...

    saying "guy" for "fella " ain't really a screw-up.

    John Prine is the best and Norah does a great cover.

    I'd like to hear the male singer ( on this song ) take the capo down about two frets.

    Just enjoy, and listen to all of Norah's rendition.

    Joe

  • just 16 people dont understand the way the world goes round. luckly it´s not a big number

  • to whom is Norah is playing with?

    thank you

    george

  • melt butter and add tobasco sauce then poor it on popcorn and the sprinkle with parmisan cheese,deeeeeelishaaaaaassss

  • This is a great song, by a one of the best song writers of all time. Norah, you nailed this song. dmanstarr, don't comment if you have don't have anything enlightening or intelligent to add!!!!

  • I was thinking what absolute perfection Norah is in this. I then read some rather negative remarks. It just does not get better than this, It makes you wonder about people sometimes. NORAH JONES IS FANTASTIC.

  • @okusachink you have to be joking. norah jones is the farthest thing from a c#nt, and john prine loves her and her covers so you should practice holding your tongue when saying something that is so absurd

  • The more John Prine i hear the more i l;ike his music..thanks

  • @dmanstarr What this is, is sung for fun and from the heart, friends singing with friends, its a jam. Whats more its got more soul then whatever gawdawful music you must listen to. Since you do not know this i got 2 words for you.

    GET OUT.

  • @dmanstarr So glad to see we got you removed

  • i love John Prine, Blue Umbrella is a fabulous song. with John Goodman, they wrote some classics

  • Best i have heard 

  • Really know nothing about Norah Jones though obviously have heard much about her over the last few years. Regardless, this is a really nice version of such a Prine classic... .

    Thanks.

  • @okusachink You, sir, have no class nor any clue what music is.

  • John Prine writes such good songs that young talented artists from Norah Jones to Miranda Lambert cover them and carry on his genius.

  • So very soulful....

  • never thought that nora jones singing this john prine song would sound so good!! Awesome job! and the guy singing with her is wicked good too!

  • to my daddy,

    i love you <3

    your the best dad in the world :) :)

  • @californiaclaybo... Norah Jones knows nothing of the soul of music ? Im a huge Prine fan but Norah Jones is not a modern cleaned up wannabe. Its just a cover of a great song...dont be such a hater

  • This is a brilliant cover.

  • I love John Prine. This is a great cover.

  • This guy isnt singing the words WRONG, he is doing it EXACTLY like John Prine himself. If you think that he's screwing up, you might want to take a minute and listen to J.Prine sing the original version. Norah Jones does great. This is well done.

  • Its a Happy Enchilada you think your gonna drown....

  • Still again its a half an inch of water and I think I am going to drown.

  • This is a great song (by John Prine). even Norah Jones thinks so! -P

  • This is one of the best covers ever. The change in lyrics is simply making it their own.

  • it amazes me how many people see a missed word here and there and get upset about it. the spirit of the music is there, the spirit of the song is there, anyone that obsessed with the details is really missing the big picture. I'd wager that those upset about the words are not musicians themselves or they'd understand more about spirit and soul.

  • He fucks up to many of the words early i can't even listen to it long enough to know what norahs gonna do.

  • i can't see why some people are voting against the song ?!!! it's simply amazing and great

  • ah yes, the happy enchilada song! listen to John sing it, how he goes almost sotto voce on "thinks he owns half of this town."

    "thinks he owns half of this town" is John's real view of the guy, ie, John resents him for being an a-hole rich guy. But...that's the way the world goes 'round.

    It's this sort of subtlety he brings to his performances that's lost on other interpreters, no matter how technically proficient they may be.

  • John Prine is under appreciated. Thanks, Norah, for recognizing his genus.

  • Yeah, but she got the last line wrong: "It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown."

  • They do a nice job on JPs' song but they seem to cover up Happy Enchillada in the lyrics for some reason.

  • Amazing how versatile she is, how great that she does such a fantastic version of this great Prine song.

  • It's amazing how JP brings out the best in terrific artists like Norah and Bonnie Raitt. His songs are legendary and will live forever in the minds and hearts of music afficianados. It's a pleasure to see these artists perform his songs with such quality and passion

  • beautiful voice, luv u NORAH :)

  • I know a man who's got a lot to lose, he's a pretty nice fella, kinda confused

    Pick up your money, pack up your tent, McGuinn

  • John Prine's lyrics...Norah Jones' voice--PERFECT!

  • Comment removed

  • There you go Epistades...way to make the call....but who could argue? Ok, Dylan, Guthrie, Page, maybe ol' Willie??? But I will take Prine anyday.

  • What a great song!!! But then all the songs Norah sings are keepers...:)

  • Wonderful duet! Their voices fit perfectly :)

  • Great song with the typical witty lyrics John Prine is so gifted at writing. Norah Jones just memorizes me with whatever she is singing.

  • @vclubamp if you mean mesmerizes? i agree <3

  • @exheartoh08 Perfect description. I just can't come up with words for the way she sounds. It's like rather than hearing her with your ears, you feel her voice with your soul.

  • hey! sing the one about the happy enchilada!! XD

  • RichardLee 57 How Does Kevin Breit get the buzzing out of his guitar from 1:53 to 2:22

  • How does he get his guitar to buss at 1:53-2:25 any one know

  • Just a wonderful song...great singing...great guitar playing...good little rythym as the song just keeps bouncing along...all in all a great feel good song...Each of these artists are fantastic...And Norah...Don't get me started!...There isn't a more talented, beautiful musician anywhere!!!

  • Nora is truly amazing!! She has a unique "old soul".

  • It's a happy enchilada!

  • awesome, I've been playin this song over & over again on my yamaha all AM !!! GOOD TIMES

  • I think they are awesome but the words make it.

  • beautiful

  • did she record this song ?

  • Is that a Martin 0-16NY the lead guitarist is playing? Great sound.

  • Love J. P. these guys do him Right. I'd like to se her in that tub :)

  • damn that gal is smoking hott and can sing as good as she looks.

  • I like the guitarist with the hat. He's just diggin' it all lol

  • I agree.His picking is as good as the singing.Helps make this a great version.

  • @Alkasweltzer Yep,Isee it the same way.Would anybody tell me who he is?

  • @manakamar ... The singer on the left in this video is Richard Julian...a member of Norah Jones' "The Little Willies" band

  • @manakamar ...The guitarist on the right in the hat is Kevin Breit

  • @guitarbenn58 Thanks a lot!

  • Yeah, don't we all...

  • Merry Christmas Norah.

    Santa, all I want for Christmas is someone like her.

  • Is it true that, while attending church, before the Mass begins, Norah breaks the silence and sings "Amazing Grace"?

  • i absolutelyyyyyyyy lovedddddddd thisssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to know who the male artist is..as i loved his voice too!! loved this song already but truly love this rendition so much..already a huge norah fan!!

  • correction ...there are two males...but i esp loved the voice of the one who starts the song out...

  • It's Richard Julian singing with her I believe, great voice :)

  • I loved it...Thank you.  Great harmony!

    There is 'always' hope.......

  • Well, some individuals have actually managed to drown in half an inch of water...

    @jamiedeanb: Rock on :)

  • awesome!!!

  • me encantaaaaaa-----cancion relajante......i love it,,,relaxing song......

  • Yes, This is the Little Willies.

  • gr8 wee song :)

  • Control and Froze there buddy...maybe they need a step that teaches spelling.

  • I hope that my comment below about "12 Step Recovery" does not cause a "debate"

  • This song has alot of meaning for me.  I'm in 12 step recovery. I understand this in a very deep way. The nice guy that beats his wife(alcohol is NO excuse) but once he drinks he has no controle. Then the part about the bathtub and the water frose she thought it was over but the sun came out. and the half inch of water thinking your going drown. You know I always make my problems worse then they are, but they are only temporary. Thank you for posting this. They both sing from there heart.

  • did the guy singing in this video play accordian for jp?

  • is this The Little Willies ?

  • Norah and company do a fine rendition of this classic John Prine song!

  • john prine is among the top 10 greatest songwriters EVER, period.

  • @epistades1 I completely agree - I would say top 4

  • @epistades1 AMEN!

  • @epistades1 No doubt!

  • @epistades1 I really could never disagree with you - I would say top 1

  • @epistades1 jeez i reckon he is. period.

  • @epistades1 yeah agreed for sure...id also include dylan, townes van zandt and maybe guy clark

  • just one word; WOW!

  • Not bad, but it sure isn't the same as when John sings it. At the very least they should do the line in the last chorus.

  • wow

  • Half an enchilada!

  • Happy Enchilada Song !

  • "look, listen and shut up" are wonderful, what it means to sing from the heart. Worth 100 stars

  • reminds me a bit on Dolly Parton

  • As a youth in the 70's I was a huge John Prine fan. Love seeing Nora cover this tune...great job. Prine has lost his voice over the years so this was a nice find.

  • Lost his voice? I have to say that I love Prine's voice: gravel, rust and all. It's incredibly real, if not American Idol "quality".

  • I have to agree, he will always be great...

  • this song makes me feel so satisfied :) i love it

  • it's pretty good but i feel like they're taking it too seriously, it's such a goofy song

  • wonderful job.and thats coming from a john prine fan lol!!!

  • Great performance.''

    Love this performance.

    Beautiful harmonies.  Love it.'

    thank you!

    excellent.

  • great song, i love norah jones

  • Is it true Norah is having an affair with Neil Diamond?

  • Good Cover

  • LOVELYYY <333

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!

  • If you're ever feelin' down, listen to this. Makes you feel good from 'stem to stern'.

  • I cant agree more, love this song and this is one of the best version I have ever heard !

  • Comment removed

  • Great song and wonderful artists. This appears to be reunion of Norah's old band, The Little Willies. The guy on the left (the other singer) is Richrd Julian, and I think the guy on the right (guitar soloist) is Jim Campilongo.

  • The guitarist is Kevin Breit from Canada.  Great musician. Check out his amazing albums with Cyro Baptista with the group Supergenerous.

  • CLASS

  • awesome!!!

    the guitarist looks like jason mraz

  • beautiful version

  • I like it!

  • this is my favourite version ...

  • Not sure John would second that. Norah & friends, in fact, do him proud here. IMHO.
