Who has more high-wattage friends than Jesse Harris? The
singer/songwriter behind Norah Jones' ''Don't Know Why'' gathers
luminaries — including Willie Nelson, Feist, and Jones herself — to
re-create his own, previously recorded tunes for buddy Ethan Hawke's
The Hottest State. Harris, a Kris Kristofferson for the aughts, writes songs
that lend themselves well to these gentle interpretations; that sleepy
beauty tips toward somnolence, but Sunday-morning comedowns don't come
much lovelier. B+
