"American Idol" judge Randy Jackson will be returning to television this week, but come March 11th, the producer and ex-Journey bassist will also have a new album to support.

Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, Joss Stone, Travis Tritt, Jason Mraz and former "Idol" finalists Elliott Yamin and Katharine McPhee are amongst the artists making appearances on Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1 which will be released on Jackson's Concord Music Group imprint, Dream Merchant.

Jackson produced the 12-track effort, which features lead single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," by Paula Abdul. The song is Abdul's first new recording in more than ten years. A number of unique collaborations are also highlighted.

"This was an opportunity to bring together an amazing roster of artists and make a kind of potpourri of all the things I love," Jackson says. "At the end of the day, I'm a song guy - and working on these songs has been a way to express my passion for music, which has never been stronger."
