We caught both of these acts at SXSW this year – Norah Jones with her country-roots band The Little Willies, and Cory Chisel & the Wandering Sons. It’s absolutely no surprise they are now touring together.
Chisel played an excellent country rock set at a celebration of Gram Parsons and the Foundation established in his name – Cory was aided most ably by singer Adriel Denae and a band belonging to his friend Brendan Benson. Although we didn’t see it, Jones also performed a pop set featuring tunes off her latest, Little Broken Hearts. Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons have also released a new album, Old Believers.
Here are Chisel and Denae joining Jones onstage in Italy to perform the Gram Parsons classic “Hickory Wind.”
