The backstage is a fortress, each inner door demanding a further credential of access. Also known as silkies or satins, backstage passes were the first created insignia of such privilege. WV's collection of passes carry the credentials to get one from the fan-club after-show all the way to center-stage.

With her expressive soprano voice employing sudden alterations of volume and force, and her lyrical focus on Los Angeles street life, Rickie Lee Jones comes on like the love child of Laura Nyro and Tom Waits on her self-titled debut album. Given the population of colorful characters who may or may not be real people that populate her songs -- Chuck E., Bragger, Kid Sinister, and others -- she also might have had Bruce Springsteen in her bloodline (that is, the Springsteen of his first two albums...

Jones intricately weaves a thread of disarming vulnerability through Balm in Gilead’s exquisite story-songs.  The album’s charms include the R&B flavored opener “Wild Girl,” which harkens back to the old Rickie Lee, with a mother’s love ~ older and wiser,  ”The Gospel of Carlos, Norman and Smith (lololo),” which artfully widens the lens on society’s racial injustice and its bottomless human ramifications; “Old Enough” (a duet with Ben Harper) is also classic Rickie Lee Jones, with its irresistible...

The Magazine by Rickie Lee Jones on CD No doubt to the consternation of Warner Bros. Records, Rickie Lee Jones took more than three years to follow up her second (and second Top Five, gold-selling) album, Pirates (1981) with The Magazine. (In the interim, the label issued the mini-album of live tracks and outtakes Girl at Her Volcano [1983].) But from the evidence of the finished product, she might have been better advised to take a little longer. Her self-titled first album was a delightful collection...

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...

Her debut on Warners, Rickie Lee Jones, released in 1979, won the Grammy for Best New Artist. She was hailed by one critic as a “highly touted new pop-jazz-singer-songwriter” and another critic as “one of the best--if not the best--artist of her generation.” In addition to the album’s brilliant songs--including the exceptional “On Saturday Afternoons in 1963,” the haunting “Last Chance Texaco,” and the popular “Chuck E’s in Love”--Jones was becoming a figure whose life was bearing a great deal of...

Twenty-five years ago, Rickie Lee Jones shot to the top of the pop charts singing about a certain Chuck E. falling in love. The first track of The Evening of My Best Day opens with “Ugly Man,” about a certain George W. -- only it’s no love song. With her singular, idiosyncratic voice and strong instincts as a songwriter, Jones has crafted a set of originals that range in emotion from tender to playful to downright angry. On several tracks, her lyrics are pointedly critical of the Bush administration...

In 1979, the inimitable Rickie Lee Jones emerged with her self-titled debut, which won her a Best New Artist Grammy, and her career was off and running. What makes Jones stand out in the crowd is her ability to gracefully combine various styles of music without creating a self-conscious hodge-podge. On this album (and throughout her career), She creates an amalgam of various influences, including funk, jazz, folk, and country music. A born storyteller, Jones marks each song on this debut with her...

"Spirituality plays a big role here, in the shimmering textures of 'His Jeweled Floor,' her yearning for understanding in 'The Gospel of Carlos, Norman and Smith' and the ethereal poetry of 'Eucalyptus Trail.'…. By the closing track, 'Bayless St.,' a reverie clothed in old-timey dobro, mandolin and slide guitar, she has found the peace in acceptance—the spiritual balm for which the biblical land of Gilead was famous."— LATimes

Nick Mathe, ex-school teacher and a neighbor, took an interest in her music, helped her get publicity photos, and booked her at some local showcase clubs. She was signed within six months of this first show. It was clear she was unique and unaffected, unpressured to join the "New Wave" or belong to the Hotel California-Linda Ronstadt sound that permeated the radio at the time. Jones' voice was distinctively different, and she did not seem to be afraid of that; people loved her or hated her right...
