Notes: PIRATES is also available with the album RICKIE LEE JONES on one cassette. Rickie Lee Jones's second album, PIRATES, continues where her self-titled debut left off. With a record built upon storytelling, Jones resumes her role of poet laureate to the disenchanted and disconsolate. A strongly dynamic outing, the emotion of each song resonates in the detailed arrangements and freewheeling improvisations, the latter best epitomized by the funky party song, "Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to...

Women never played an overly active part in beat culture, but this sassy, scat-singing pianist did her best to make up for that on this swinging debut release in 1987. Jones's shaken-and-slurred delivery helped make "Chuck E.'s in Love" (a song dedicated to L.A. music-scene fixture Chuck E. Weiss) an instant hit and an enduring radio staple. That jazz-tinged barroom epiphany sets the tone for this disc, which ambles leisurely from sunny Angeleno pop to soulful proto-swing (kicked out in admirable...

A born storyteller, Jones marks each song on this debut with her ability to weave an intriguing tale and craft a great melody. The opening track, "Chuck E.'s in Love" was the album's hit, and is clearly reminiscent of Steely Dan's work. (She would later collaborate with Steely Dan's Walter Becker.) But just when you think you've got Jones labeled, she offers up "Easy Money," an organic and delicate country-swing tune. Other songs, particularly "Coolsville," show Jones's introspective, melancholic...

Rolling Stone magazine, founded in San Francisco in 1967, is the most famous music periodical in the world. Initially reporting on the hippie counterculture, by the 1970s, Rolling Stone made its mark for political coverage as well with the likes of "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson's submissions and many other prominent writers.

Not since Billie Holiday has there been a vocalist who so completely transforms a song into her own. On "It's Like This", eclectic folkie Rickie Lee Jones envelops standards, showtunes, '70s soul, and even slick jazz-rock, interpreting them with her familiar childlike, breathy shouts. In a very similar vein as 1991's Pop Pop, Jones pulls together a collection of diverse songs from throughout the 20th century and gives them a sparse, fragile spin, kind of like Diana Krall and Bjork sharing coffee...

After the critical (and commercial) success of her debut two years earlier, Rickie Lee Jones had a lot riding on her sophomore album, Pirates . From the opening track, "We Belong Together," Jones served notice that she was willing to challenge herself and experiment with more unusual, complex song structures. Her unique phrasing and style reflect her interest in beat poets and the bohemian lifestyle, and on this album she relies on more obscure imagery than the direct, detailed observations on comrades...

For some reason, Rickie's German performances are often the most edgy, daring, and provocative. In 1992, energized by the electricity of the fanatic fans from this gritty, northern European port city, she delivered a truly memorable set, one that will always be a favorite among her concert-collecting aficionados.

"Duchess of Coolsville" is Rhino's three-CD career retrospective of the work of singer and songwriter Rickie Lee Jones, an artist who changed the face of pop in the 1970s in her own way beginning with her surprise hit "Chuck E'S In Love." Since that time she has continued on a highly personal, often idiosyncratic path; one that does not always give the marketplace its due. Critics have celebrated and vilified her. Her hardcore legion of fans has scratched their collective head more than once in the...

An eclectic collection of covers from one of jazz-pop's most eclectic performers, Pop Pop travels from the stage to tin pan alley through Jimi Hendrix's sky. Rickie Lee Jones cradles each of these songs with her pleading, gentle voice, backing them with subtle orchestration courtesy of notable performers including Robben Ford, Joe Henderson, and Charlie Haden. Her attention to love songs of the '40s and '50s demonstrates almost a longing for simpler times and simpler love, and these qualities...
