Puss N Boots began performing in N.Y.C. nightclubs in 2008 but didnâ™t deliver their debut, No Fools, No Fun, until the summer of 2014 — a pretty good indication that this group was intended as something of a lark. All three musicians – Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper — keep themselves busy with solo day jobs that range from in-demand supporting musicians to full-time superstars, but Puss N Boots affords the trio an opportunity to indulge in their shared love of country and other pieces of ramshackle Americana.
Jones has another part-time country band, but where sheâ™s the frontwoman for the Little Willies, Puss N Boots is decidedly a collaborative affair, finding Jones, Dobson, and Popper harmonizing and trading leads, often within the course of…
a song. The group follows no straight path and neither does No Fools, No Fun. Itâ™s half covers, half originals, part live and part studio, the different parts sitting side by side, adding up to a curious record whose raggedness feels like a statement of purpose. Puss N Boots celebrates the moments that donâ™t add up, the places where the present blurs with the past, delivering songs with a sly wink that camouflages a teary eye. No Fools, No Fun is never rowdy — the closest it comes is the train-track beat of Jonesâ™ original “Donâ™t Know What It Means” — but thereâ™s an earthiness to the trioâ™s chemistry that signals how deeply the group knows each otherâ™s strengths and weaknesses. This is where Puss N Bootsâ™ long history of woodshedding pays off: far from sounding like a busmanâ™s holiday, thereâ™s a shared past thatâ™s evident in every moment of this debut, and that natural, relaxed camaraderie is the reason why No Fools, No Fun is such an appealing listen.
