Jones strips each song down to its barest essence,
until the only things left are her supple voice and the slightest
shudder of a groove. The album's leanness on the production
front adds an emotional rawness to the songs. And besides,
a vocalist who's as honest as Jones only shines more brightly
when the bells and whistles are removed. It's Like This finds
Jones and her top-notch team of instrumentalists doing justice
to the brilliant material she's selected, creating a musical
wonderland where timeless songs meet spirited, lovely performances.
