New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Norah Jones continues her acclaimed series of single releases today with "I'll Be Gone," a collaboration with the legendary singer Mavis Staples. The song was written by Pete Remm, produced by Jones and Remm, and features lead vocals by Staples and Jones, who also plays piano along with Remm on organ and guitar, Dan Iead on pedal steel guitar, Jesse Murphy on bass, Brian Blade on drums, and backing vocals by Wes Hutchinson.

"The first time I met Mavis she held my hand and we sang side-by-side to honor Paul McCartney," Jones recalls. "She is a beacon of love and light. It is always an honor, a pleasure, and a dream come true to sing with her. I hope we get to do more of it."

Jones was joined by Staples for her concert at Red Rocks in Colorado this summer, and they have performed together previously at the Newport Folk Festival in 2014, as well as Staples' 80th birthday concert at the Apollo Theater earlier this year. They will both be appearing at the David Lynch Foundation's Silence the Violence benefit concert in Washington DC on October 11.
Jones' alt-country trio Puss N Boots with singer/bassist Catherine Popper and singer/guitarist Sasha Dobson also recently released an Amazon Original cover of Dolly Parton's "The Grass is Blue." The track was the group's first new release in five years, and is available to stream on Amazon Music HD, a new premium quality tier streaming audio from Amazon Music.

"The first time I ever heard the Dolly Parton song 'The Grass is Blue,' it slayed me," said Jones. "It was probably the most beautiful song I'd ever heard. I've always loved the harmonies on Dolly's version, they're just insanely gorgeous."
