Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Norah Jones has announced U.S. tour dates in support of her critically-acclaimed new album The Fall, which was released by EMI's Blue Note Records on November 17. The 36-city tour will kick off March 5, 2010. All tour dates listed below. A select number of shows will go on sale beginning Friday, December 4. Ticketing information is available here.
Jones is also premiering several remixes from The Fall this week. On December 1, RCRD LBL presented “That's What I Said (The NYC Remix by Adrock and Mike D)." On December 2, Stereogum presented “Chasing Pirates (Santigold and Snotty Remix)." On December 3, Artist Direct will present “Chasing Pirates (Droogs Remix)," which was created by a remix collective that included Beck. The remixes will be released digitally and on vinyl on January 12, 2010.
“We decided to have people I admire do some remixes," Jones recently told Entertainment Weekly. “[Adrock and Mike D of] Beastie Boys did one, and Beck, and Santigold." Jones first collaborated with Beastie Boys during the 2008 presidential election when they recruited her for their Get Out The Vote concerts, which also included Santigold. Jones also appeared in the season finale of 30 Rock this past May along with Mike D and Adrock. Jones and Beck first met when they performed together on KCRW's holiday concert in 2002.
The Fall finds Jones experimenting with a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse among others. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partner Jesse Harris. King also helped Jones put together a new group of musicians to perform on the album, including drummers Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and James Gadson (Bill Withers), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green), and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer).

“Jones sounds more confident and stretches her songwriting muscle... Her continued growth as a writer, not just as singer, brings another exciting dimension to The Fall." Associated Press
“The Fall has been billed as Norah Jones' rock album. In fact, it's something even more surprising: a hot-blooded soul record." SPIN
