Norah Jones releases Playing Along, Volume 2 on 27 November 2026 as a Record Store Day LP, turning recordings from her podcast into a physical release. The edition is built around spontaneous collaborations with artists from the second season of Norah Jones Is Playing Along.
Norah Jones brings podcast recordings to Record Store Day
The release is listed for 27 November 2026 in Record Store Day’s Black Friday programme. The organisation identifies it as an LP in the jazz category and says the pressing uses transparent red vinyl exclusively for RSD Black Friday, as shown in its Record Store Day listing.
Universal Music describes Playing Along, Volume 2 as a collection drawn from the podcast’s second season. Its release announcement names the project as a Black Friday Record Store Day exclusive LP and presents it as a set of musical encounters rather than a conventional studio album.
Norah Jones links the LP to her collaborative studio
Jones’s podcast pairs candid conversations with impromptu performances, and the album carries that format into a twelve-track sequence. The published list runs across two sides and contains twelve tracks. It credits collaborations involving Joshua Homme, Lucius, Nate Smith, Martha Wainwright, Linda Perry, Ron Carter, Bill Frisell, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jason Isbell, Mike Campbell, María Zardoya, Josh Groban and Lucinda Williams.
The result connects Jones’s jazz and pop profile with guests from different parts of contemporary music. The release also extends the podcast’s role as a place where conversation and performance meet, while keeping Jones’s piano-led identity at the centre of the project.
Norah Jones’s catalogue gives the project a longer arc
Jones first reached a broad audience with her debut album Come Away With Me, a record Universal Music describes as a meeting point for her voice, songwriting and musicianship. Her solo catalogue later grew through Feels Like Home, Not Too Late, The Fall, Little Broken Hearts, Day Breaks, Pick Me Up Off The Floor, I Dream Of Christmas and Visions.
That background makes Playing Along, Volume 2 a distinct addition to the catalogue. Its defining thread is exchange with other musicians, carried across a set shaped by conversation and spontaneous performance. The podcast guests give the release a wider ensemble frame while retaining Jones’s name as the central musical presence.
