...Featuring is a star-studded collection of Norah Jones' collaborations spanning her entire career. The result serves as a kind of parallel history to her four albums, which have sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
“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.”

This is a great CD to slip into the player when you just need to unwind - Norah Jones' take on so many classic songs is easy to listen to and get caught up in the wonderful collaborations and various genres that are featured on the album!
I have to say though, that personally I had a hard time getting over the combination of Norah Jones with Willy Nelson on Baby It's Cold Outside... not because of the music, but just the image... but everything else was wonderful! It was really interesting hearing the Foo Fighters and Ray Charles on the same album!
If you're a Norah Jones fan, or thinking about becoming one, I highly recommend checking out ...Featuring
