Texan Norah Jones won five individual honors plus three for her producers and songwriter for her debut album "Come Away With Me," including the top four: album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist. Bruce Springsteen's more political effort "The Rising" took three awards in rock categories. The Dixie Chicks matched that total in country categories with their back-to-the-roots album "Home."
