Th Little Willies, a group comprised of Norah Jones, Richard Julian, Lee Alexander, Jim Campilongo and Dan Rieser, will release its self-titled debut March 7. The 13-track set features four originals and nine covers of songs popularised by Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Townes Van Zandt. The Little Willies originally formed to play a 2003 one-off show at New York’s Living Room but returned to the venue as members’ schedules permitted. A live album was discussed, but after Jones and Alexander completed a home studio, they opted to record the band as their first project there. The original material here includes It’s Not You It’s Me, a Julian co-write with Ashley Moore; Julian and Campilongo’s Easy as the Rain; Alexander’s Roll On; and the Alexander/Julian/Jones album closer Lou Reed. The disc is rounded out by the Leiber/Stoller composition Love Me, Jimmy Driftwood’s Tennessee Stud, Fred Rose’s Roly Poly and the Gram Parsons-popularised Streets of Baltimore.
