Norah Jones’s "Seven Years" was written by her then-boyfriend and bassist, Lee Alexander. He penned the sentimental, acoustic track after watching a home video of Jones dancing carefree as a child. Jones described it as a sweet sentiment about a child in her own world, happy and content. The song was featured on Jones’s breakthrough, Diamond-certified 2002 debut album, Come Away with Me. It highlights the album's signature confessional, folk-leaning approach, complete with soft acoustic and bluesy slide guitar work by Kevin Breit.

Okay, I'm back from my travels. I took the BT to zero, ripped the vocal - so it is just Yoshi, me and Norah Jones' vocal as the temp track. The table is set as they say. I am just so enjoying these Norah Jones' collabs with my wonderful talented friends - so much fun!!!! Great stuff!

I haven’t set any levels - don’t have access to DAW yet, but everyone needs to hear the fabulous guitar work by Yoshi now. Can’t wait for the vocals next

Wow, just fabulous work on both tracks. I love the clean articulation on the acoustic - just beautifully done, the tone and feel throughout. How you got the dobro sound is nothing short of magical. Well played and done my friend, just fabulous. Thank you!!

@BillBassDude : Thank you as always for the kind compliments! They are so encouraging. Also, thank you so much for publishing the collab! I was a bit concerned about the guitar tuning on the left channel, so I redid it (just for my own satisfaction, haha).
