I love when musicians collaborate and produce a mutual passion. Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) and Norah Jones have achieved that goal through their “reinterpretation” of the 1958 Everly Brothers classic album, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us.
The Billie Joe and Norah collaboration is titled Foreverly. It will drop this Monday November 25th. The vinyl bundle includes an exclusive lithograph (see picture below). The vinyl bundle ships to purchasers on January 24, 2014. There is even a cassette bundle which is a nice consideration for listeners.
Watch and listen as Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong discuss each track on the recording.

“Roving Gambler”
