I should have opened this entry Norah Jones and The Handsome Band because those guys and gal are very talented in their own right; almost all the songs they played were written by combinations of them.
And while I'm on the subject of talent, let's make some room for the opener, Amos Lee. I was gonna write about this guy as soon as I found out he's a John Prine fan, and then he went and had a really impressive set. Not only that; the guy's stage presence is unbelievable: completely unassuming, and all the more hilarious for it. Yes, hilarious! He had the audience in stitches. What a perfect sense of timing. My wife said it was a good thing there was a break between the two acts, and I agree. He still made Norah look awkward and second rate between her songs.
