In stores today is the soundtrack to Ethan Hawke’s The Hottest State, wherein the Booker T. Washington alum sings a song by the man who helped make her famous in the first place, Jesse Harris. (So do the likes of Willie Nelson, Bright Eyes, Cat Power, and Feist; it’s good stuff.) The next two entries in Jones’ miles-long discography? A guest appearance on the new Talib Kweli album, and a cover of “My Blue Heaven” she recorded for Going Home, a double-disc tribute to Fats Domino that also features Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Robert Plant. After that, she’s going to leave the outgoing message on my voice mail.
