On
November 16, Blue Note Records released …Featuring,
a star-studded collection of Norah Jones’
musical collaborations from the past decade. The
18 songs on the album include duets with such legends
as Ray Charles, Willie Nelson,
and Dolly Parton, and with 21st
Century icons from OutKast to the Foo
Fighters. The tracks on …Featuring span
her entire career, from one of her earliest recording
sessions (a version of Roxy Music’s “More
Than This” with guitarist Charlie Hunter in
2001) to her most recent performance, a song called “Little
Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John” that she cut
with Belle and Sebastian, which
will also appear on their new album.
“It's so exciting and flattering and fun when
I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire,” says
Jones. “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.”
Also included are recordings
by some of Jones’
own bands and side projects (The Little Willies and El
Madmo), and performances with artists that
she’s toured with including M. Ward, Sasha
Dobson, and Gillian Welch and David
Rawlings. Songs on …Featuring range
from classics recorded by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash,
Joni Mitchell, and Roy Orbison to new material by
such wide-ranging innovators as Ryan Adams and Q-Tip.
“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,” says
Jones. “Even though the musicians are so varied,
the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them
all together.”
