Norah Jones and...A CD of Collaborations |
| Aug 19 2010 |
Grammy-winner Norah Jones is reaching back across her career to share some star-studded collaborations. A new album, "...Featuring," is out on Nov. 2 on Blue Note, and highlights her work with a wide range of artists. Jones is paired with everyone from Ray Charles and Willie Nelson to The Foo Fighters and OutKast.
The 18 songs on the album span Jones’ career and highlight her versatility across many different genres of music. It includes songs by Joni Mitchell, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
In a press release, she said “It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire. It takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone when you're doing something with another artist. You don't know what to expect—it's kind of like being a little kid and having a playdate.” She adds, “A lot of the people on this record are people I've worshiped since I was a kid, and some of them are younger and more my contemporaries. Even though the musicians are so varied, the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them all together.
