Blue Note Records announced this week that it will soon release … Featuring, a collection of singer Norah Jones’ musical collaboration from the past decade. Set to hit retail and online outlets on November 2, the disc’s 18 songs include duets with Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, OutKast, the Foo Fighters, Talib Kweli, Ryan Adams, Herbie Hancock and others.

“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 play date.”

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. The result serves as a kind of parallel history to her own four albums, which have sold over 40 million copies worldwide.

These collaborations reveal Jones’ musical versatility, from jazz to country to hip-hop to rock. Three of the songs on …Featuring originally appeared on records that won Grammy awards for “Album of the Year” (Ray Charles’ Genius Loves Company, Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters, and OutKast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below), and several others were also nominated for Grammys. The album also includes 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 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.”
