Over the last decade, Norah Jones has become known for her ace collaborations with everyone from the Foo Fighters to Ray Charles. Now, the singer-songwriter will collect her best duets on a new disc titled …Featuring, which hits stores November 2nd. The disc features Jones' collaborations with the Willie Nelson, OutKast, Talib Kweli, Dolly Parton, Ryan Adams, M. Ward and more. (Full track listing below.) Also included: the new track "Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John," which Jones cut with Belle and Sebastian for the Scottish group's forthcoming fall album. "It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire," Jones said in a statement. "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."
MEADOW LANDS - Willie Nelson performed outside in front of at least 2,500 people at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino Saturday night, but it was the kind of set that would have easily been at home in an intimate club.

What A Week
A private concert was planned in beautiful New Hampshire and this is the reaction of the surprised crowd moments after the curtain went up. The host had somehow kept it a complete secret who the entertainer was going to be.
We did a super secret show tonight in New Hampshire. That's all I can tell you about it except that for the last few days, we crew members have been taping over all the Willie Nelson & Family stencils on all the Road Cases that protect all the equipment that we set-up every day.
Williamsport, PA is the home of the Little League Baseball headquarters and the site each year for the Little League World Series. Tonight Willie Nelson & Family pay a visit to the Community Arts Center to entertain 2,100 folks.
We are back in New Jersey Tonight at the Beautiful Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. It's old and currently having another facelift. It's also familiar to Willie Nelson & Family because we seem to play here at least once a year. I also remember playing here on the "Willie & the Wheel" Tour. I only shot 5 pictures tonight. Here's 4 of 'em.
We are just outside our nation's capital today.
The Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arst in Vienna, Virginia is a very nice large Amphitheatre in a wooded setting that holds a little under 8,000 people. We have played here many times in the past, but not for a few years.
Willie Nelson & Family played The Community Theatre at Mayo Center for the Performing Arts in Morristown on Sunday Night. It is the first of 3 concerts that we will play in New Jersey this week.
