Puss n Boots consists of Sasha Dobson, Norah Jones, and Catherine Popper. If you’re a fan of three-part harmony, you’ll love No Fools, No Fun. At times, the songs sound like they’re being song by a female version of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

I kinda drifted away from Norah Jones after her first two albums and I’m not familiar with the other two singers, so these factors combined with an ultra-low (for you) grade of C+ makes me think I’ll give this one a pass.
Deb, I’m confounded by Norah Jones’ career decisions. Like you, I really like her first two albums. But instead of developing a loyal audience, Norah Jones has issued music in a variety of styles that don’t appeal to me.
I’m going to give the CD a listen, though I’m not thrilled by the video clip even after they finally get to the song.
Bill, I ‘m with you on the video clip. But I think it’s representative of the material on NO FOOLS, NO FUN.
If it’s representative, then no. I’ll pass. I found it annoying.
Jeff, the audience in the video was very annoying.
They’re okay, but I don’t see any resemblance to CS&Y. And yeah, why do losers in the audience think they’re enhancing a show with their hoots and hollers?
Bob, I have found most contemporary audiences are made up of an increasing number of boors. Of course, alcohol tends to make their behavior worse.
It was a rhetorical question. I know they’re drunken jackasses.
