Jones' plans also include a pair of July performances in California--one in Santa Barbara on July 9, the other in Universal City on July 10--that are billed as tributes to country singer Gram Parsons, who died of a drug overdose more than 30 years ago. Jones will share the stage at those shows with Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle.

Jones is on the road in support of her sophomore album, "Feels Like Home," which she released in February. The set, the follow-up to 2002's "Come Away With Me," sold more than 1 million copies during its first week in stores, and debuted atop The Billboard 200 album chart.

"Feels Like Home" features the single "Sunrise." The song's music video is streaming at Jones's website.

"Come Away With Me" producer Arif Mardin returned to work with Jones on the new set, as did bassist Lee Alexander and guitarists Adam Levy, Kevin Breit, Tony Scherr and Jesse Harris (who wrote and co-wrote a number of songs on "Come Away With Me"). Drummer Andrew Borger and background vocalist Daru Odam rounded out the studio ensemble.

Guests include Dolly Parton, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band, and jazz drummer Brian Blade.

"Come Away With Me" earned Jones five Grammy trophies last year: Album of the Year, Record of the Year (for "Don't Know Why"), Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for "Don't Know Why") and Best Pop Vocal Album.
