CD Review: Norah Jones ...Featuring

 Norah Jones released a new CD on Tuesday, ...Featuring an awesome collection of her collaborations throughout her career.  It's a really great collection and really shows Norah's wide-range of musical ability.

“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 Norah. “Even though the musicians are so varied, the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them all together.”


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.


The track listing for …Featuring is as follows:

1. Love Me – The Little Willies
2. Virginia Moon – The Foo Fighters featuring Norah Jones
3. Turn Them – Sean Bones featuring Norah Jones
4. Baby It's Cold Outside – Willie Nelson featuring Norah Jones

7. The Best Part – El Madmo
8. Take Off Your Cool – OutKast featuring Norah Jones

10. Soon The New Day – Talib Kweli featuring Norah Jones
11. Little Lou, Prophet Jack, Ugly John – Belle & Sebastian featuring Norah Jones
12. Here We Go Again – Ray Charles featuring Norah Jones
13. Loretta – Norah Jones featuring Gillian Welch and David Rawlings

16. Court & Spark – Herbie Hancock featuring Norah Jones

I really enjoyed ...Featuring.  I put it on while cleaning a just grooved while working around the house.  I really love " Baby it's Cold Outside" and "Take Off Your Cool."  You can connect with Norah on her official site: http://www.norahjones.com/ where you can watch videos, find tour dates and for a limited time stream ...Featuring in it's entirety.
