Light As A Feather

This track from Norah Jones' fourth album, The Fall, is a co-write with alternative country/rock singer-songwriter Ryan Adams. Jones told Uncut magazine how it came about: "We've been friends for a few years. We were playing stuff for each other, and I played him a song that I couldn't finish. He finished it for me in 10 minutes! We did it by taking the guitar out, and putting in this crazy organ sample. It's an interesting way of working!"

Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse was hired to helm the album, which sees Jones veering in a rockier direction. She explained in press materials. "As far as a producer, I wanted someone who could take me out of my comfort zone and find the right musicians to capture what I wanted to do with this collection of songs. I got in touch with Jacquire initially because he engineered one of my favorite records of all time, Tom Waits' Mule Variations. He was really eager to do it and we got along really well, which was important."

The album isn't Jones' first Tom Waits connection. She recorded his "The Long Way Home" on her second album, Feels Like Home.
