Norah Jones<\/b> recently teamed up with Questlove<\/b> and Christian McBride<\/b> for a cover of The Staple Singers<\/b>‘ “Why Am I Treated So Bad.”<\/p>\n
The pair joined Jones as guests while recording the latest episode of her podcast “Playing Along.”<\/p>\n
The episode also features the trio’s collaborative covers of D’Angelo<\/b>, Pops Staples<\/b>, and Kris Kristofferson<\/b>, among others.<\/p>\n
Jones has shared a video of her on piano and vocals, Questlove on drums and McBride playing double bass. <\/p>\n
“We were talking earlier about the steady gig – all those steady gigs you played in hotel lobbies and restaurants and bars, that’s where we all got our training,” McBride said. “I’ve always been too pragmatic. As a bass player, my thing was always ‘Do whatever you have to do to keep the gig.’ I was less worried about individualism – just don’t get fired, that was always my thing.”<\/p>\n
“This was a really fun time for me. It was like a dream, like, ‘Should we just make an album? Why are we all here?’ [\u2026] It was a pretty great episode,” Jones said about Playing Along Podcast Episode 27.<\/p>\n
