Although her new album is entitled "The Fall," Norah Jones is waiting until spring to embark on a 36 city tour, which kicks off Mar. 5, 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The trek will see the veteran jazz-pop singer play midsize theatres in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago -- but also hit many smaller markets like Akron, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; and Mobile, Alabama. Several shows go on sale Dec. 4 with the rest becoming available before the end of the year.
"The Fall" is Jones' fourth studio album and she's currently riding a wave of critical praise, although it's unknown how she'll work in the new, more roots-rock approach to her songwriting on this upcoming tour. "The Fall" features collaborations with Okkervil River's Will Sheff, Ryan Adams, Marc Ribot and Smokey Hormel and sees Jones leaving behind the slow balladry that defined her early work.
Jones' fans seem to welcome this new approach. Last week, "The Fall" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 180,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. Yet instead of hitting the road immediately, Jones has spent November making the television rounds - including performances on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The View," "Good Morning America" and interview segments on ABC News' "Nightline" and CNN's "Headline News." But that's not all: on December 15 and 16, she'll perform on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" followed by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
While fans become acquainted with her new tunes over the next few months, they can also look forward to three new remixes - all of which will be released on Jan. 12, 2010 as digital downloads and on vinyl. The single "Chasing Pirates" will get remixed by Santigold as well as Beck's remix collective the Droogs. The song "That's What I Said," which is featured on the latest "NCIS" soundtrack, gets the remix treatment from the Beastie Boys' Adrock and Mike D.
